In 2026, Artissima renews its commitment to discovering and supporting artistic talent through a prestigious and wide-ranging programme of prizes developed in collaboration with partners, art institutions and foundations. Designed to promote and support artists and galleries, these prizes help enhance the visibility of participating exhibitors while fostering dialogue between the art market, cultural institutions and industry professionals. The prizes are presented during the fair by international juries composed of curators and directors of the world’s leading contemporary art museums, whose presence provides an important opportunity for exchange, networking and professional dialogue.
Alongside the prizes programme, Fondazione Arte CRT renews its long-standing Acquisitions Fund at Artissima, with a total value of €300,000, for the benefit of the GAM – Galleria Civica d’Arte Moderna e Contemporanea di Torino and Castello di Rivoli Museo d’Arte Contemporanea collections.
