Today, Artsy revealed the five finalists for its Foundations Prize Summer 2024: Gabriel Moses, Katherine Qiyu Su, Sarah Cohen, Soetkin Verslype, and Thomas Cameron. Returning for its second edition, the prize celebrates emerging artists showcased at the biannual online fair. The winner will be announced when Foundations Summer 2024 concludes on August 12.

The Artsy Foundations Prize is a biannual accolade that celebrates emerging artists for exceptional contributions to the Foundations art fair. The winner’s work will be featured on a billboard in New York’s Times Square from August 12th to 25th.

The finalists are chosen by Artsy’s Curatorial team based on the originality of their work and the interest it has generated among collectors.
