Established in 2004 in honor of its founding benefactor Fernando Zobel de Ayala (1924-1984), whose support of young Filipino visual artists left an indelible mark in Philippine art history, the Ateneo Art Awards are given to Filipino visual artists below the age of 36 for outstanding work in an exhibition between 2 May of the previous year and 1 May of the current year.
As the Ateneo Art Awards gears up for a milestone, the ninth year takes the theme “Sneak Peak”. This anticipatory stance as we approach a peak in the history of the awards, serves not as a statement of fact, but a call for introspection. The contemporary Philippine art scene is as dynamic as ever and the world is taking notice. With the overwhelming recognition, we are called back to the core to reminisce, to hope and to work anew.
Nominations
are accepted from visual artists, curators, museum and gallery directors,
members of the present and former juries, art educators and art writers.
Nomination forms are available at the Ateneo Art Gallery, Ateneo de Manila
University, Katipunan Avenue, Loyola Heights, Quezon City; at Casa Gorodo

2012, 3 will be declared winners. The artists who created the winning
