Oelle – Mediterraneo Antico Prize

Fondazione Oelle promotes for the fourth year the Oelle – Mediterraneo Antico Prize, for which an international jury selects one artist represented by galleries in the fair. The artist will take part in a residency in Catania, aimed at producing a work that enhances the contemporary Sicilian and Mediterranean context. At the end of the residency, an exhibition will be produced and organized which will be hosted in one of the Foundation’s exhibition venues. An experiential format dedicated to the “navigating artists” of the third millennium, it is designed to enhance contemporary artistic research, in particular from the “South of the world”, aimed at the field of visual arts, photography, video, sound art and more (such as literature): actions understood as cultural crossings in Sicily and the Mediterranean. 

In 2024, the prize was awarded to Daniela Ortiz (presented by the gallery Laveronica, Modica).
