The Rubin Museum Himalayan Art Prize (Rubin Art Prize) is an international award for artists who are inspired by traditional Himalayan art forms and techniques, and the meanings and insights they offer. Given annually, the prize honors individuals or collectives who have significantly contributed to the dialogue between Himalayan art and contemporary life. With a $30,000 (USD) unrestricted award—the largest for contemporary artistic practices related to the Himalayan region—the Rubin Art Prize recognizes both past contributions and supports future work.
