The vision of the Rubin Museum Himalayan Art Prize is to support and celebrate the dynamic dialogue between Himalayan art and contemporary life, ensuring that the rich cultural heritage of the Himalayan region continues to inspire and resonate globally.
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.
