The Sovereign Art Foundation (SAF) today announces the 30 artists shortlisted for The 2023 Sovereign Asian Art Prize, the 19th edition of Asia’s most coveted award in contemporary art. As well as providing artists with international recognition and generous financial prizes, The Prize is an important charitable endeavour, raising substantial funds to support disadvantaged children by auctioning finalists’ artworks.

The 30 finalists’ artworks will be shown and can be voted on in a free public exhibition at 9/F, H Queen's, 80 Queen's Road Central, Central, Hong Kong from 10-18 May 2023. Younger visitors can explore the exhibition's key themes with a special self-guided activity, developed by SAF’s experienced art therapists and programme facilitators to promote family bonding and self-discovery through art.

Selected artworks are offered for purchase at the exhibition at a fixed price on a first-come-first-served basis. The remaining works, except the Grand Prize winner, will be auctioned at a Gala Dinner at the Four Seasons Hotel Hong Kong on 19 May 2023, with proceeds split evenly between the artists and SAF’s charity programmes. Absentee bids and artwork votes can also be placed through SAF’s website.

Venue address: 9/F, H Queen's, 80 Queen's Road Central, Central
