Adult Acquisition Awards
Chosen from Adult Sections 1-11
HOW ACQUISITION AWARDS WORK
The Acquisition awards are funded from pledges made by the acquirer in exchange for the art that they select. The Acquirer will pledge a pre-determined amount, for example $1,000, which becomes the acquisition prize. They are then able to choose a work up to a value of 125% of their pledged amount, in this example to a value of $1,250. The artist will receive the acquisition prize in lieu of their work. There is currently no commission paid on acquisitions.
