Some say life imitates art. Others say art imitates life. But both sides can agree on one thing: A truly great artist imitates no one. 

It’s time to find the world’s next great visual artist. Hey, maybe it’s you.

Since 2010, BOMBAY SAPPHIRE and Rush Philanthropic Arts Foundation have teamed up to provide emerging artists with an international platform to showcase their work. The BOMBAY SAPPHIRE Artisan Series is simple in premise, but profound in purpose: to discover this year’s next great visual artist.

By the time the Artisan Series concludes, thousands of burgeoning and established artists will have submitted their artwork online. A panelist of art experts will select a group of regional finalists to be featured in a series of 14 different gallery events across the U.S. and Canada. The winners of those events, along with two online winners whose digital submissions receive the most online votes, will be invited to showcase their work at SCOPE Miami Beach (one of the largest global art fairs in the world).

At the BOMBAY SAPPHIRE Artisan Series finale, judges will select a grand prize winner. That winner will receive a cash stipend to create a body of work that’ll be featured as a solo exhibit at SCOPE Miami Beach 2017 and be commissioned to complete a public art installation in 2017.

There's literally no other opportunity on the planet for rising visual artists quite like the BOMBAY SAPPHIRE Artisan Series. The submission process is already underway and will only be open until Thursday, August 17th, so make sure you submit ASAP. The world stage awaits.
