ART RESIDENCY
The PRIOR Art Collections Residency Program offers a transformative platform for artists whose work challenges norms and amplifies underrepresented voices. Since 2020, the program has provided artists with the opportunity to immerse themselves in their practice, fostering creativity and exploration. Rooted in PRIOR’s mission to champion diverse perspectives, particularly female representation and gender inclusivity, the residency empowers artists with bespoke support, mentorship, and the freedom to innovate within a collaborative environment.
PRIVATE VIEWINGS OF THE COLLECTION
PRIOR Art Collections offers exclusive private viewings, providing a uniquely intimate way to engage with its carefully curated selection of contemporary art. These personalized experiences are designed to deepen understanding of PRIOR's mission to amplify diverse voices, particularly those that challenge historical and institutional biases.
Led by experienced curators or our founders, guests embark on a meaningful journey through the collection, gaining unique insights into the artworks and their underlying narratives. Whether for art professionals, collectors, or cultural enthusiasts, these viewings serve as both an educational and networking opportunity, showcasing how underrepresented art can foster dialogue, inspire connection, and broaden perspectives on visual culture.
LOANS TO MUSEUMS AND FOUNDATIONS
PRIOR Art Collections is dedicated to amplifying the visibility of historically overlooked art, extending its mission beyond the gallery walls. Through strategic loans to museums and foundations, PRIOR ensures that its collection reaches global audiences, allowing underrepresented artists to be recognized within major exhibitions.
These collaborations facilitate the integration of powerful works into significant cultural dialogues, reinforcing the contributions of diverse voices in art history. By partnering with curators and researchers, PRIOR actively expands conversations surrounding representation and inclusion, offering audiences the opportunity to engage with art that challenges traditional narratives.
PRIZES AND AWARDS
In its continued commitment to fostering innovation and diversity in the arts, PRIOR Art Collections has established a series of prestigious awards. These prizes honor artists whose work reflects the collection's core values, particularly those who amplify underrepresented voices and explore themes of gender and identity.
For artists, receiving a PRIOR Award marks a significant milestone, providing financial support, heightened visibility, and opportunities to present their work to new audiences. However, these awards go beyond recognition; they signify PRIOR's unwavering dedication to supporting bold, transformative art. By highlighting these artists, PRIOR not only empowers individuals but also actively challenges systemic inequities within the art world.
TALKS AND CURATED TOURS
Education and engagement lie at the heart of PRIOR Art Collections’ mission, with a series of curated talks and tours designed to connect audiences with the stories behind the art. These events serve as a platform for meaningful dialogue, often featuring prominent figures from the art world, including curators, historians, and artists.
Through these discussions, PRIOR delves into critical themes of gender, diversity, and representation, offering fresh perspectives on the works within the collection. The curated tours provide an immersive experience, encouraging participants to engage deeply with the art. Together, these programs foster a dynamic and inclusive environment for learning, inspiration, and connection, reinforcing PRIOR’s commitment to promoting a more equitable and diverse art world.
CURATED EXHIBITIONS
PRIOR Art Collections extends its influence through carefully curated group exhibitions that emphasize the collection's focus on representation and gender perspectives. These exhibitions bring together artists from within the collection and emerging voices, creating a dynamic platform for dialogue and discovery.
Each exhibition is thoughtfully curated to address vital issues in the contemporary art world, from societal inequities to evolving cultural paradigms. By showcasing artists whose work resonates with these themes, PRIOR amplifies diverse voices and asserts its role as a key player in contemporary discourse. Through these exhibitions, PRIOR bridges the gap between art and activism, offering audiences provocative experiences that challenge conventions and inspire new ways of thinking.
NOMADIC EXHIBITION SPACE
In its commitment to innovation, PRIOR Art Collections adopts a nomadic exhibition model, showcasing its works in architecturally and culturally significant venues. Every 1-2 years, the collection selects new locations in cities such as Barcelona and Berlin, ensuring each venue enhances the art and enriches the visitor experience.
These exhibitions celebrate both the art and the spaces they occupy, often featuring award-winning designs or historically relevant architecture. By presenting the collection in this dynamic format, PRIOR reaches diverse audiences and fosters greater accessibility. Open to the public, these events invite communities to engage with PRIOR's mission in unique, inspiring environments, reinforcing its vision of inclusivity, innovation, and cultural dialogue.
