“The Young Masters Art Prize is a curatorial platform that celebrates and supports emerging artists from across the world who are inspired by the art of the past. Young Masters was founded by gallerist Cynthia Valianti Corbett in 2009 as a not-for-profit juried Art Prize, inspired by her love of Art History and the Old Masters. The success of the Prize has grown with six incredible editions and has spotted the talents of over 400 artists who are part of our alumni network.
Now, in 2026, our revitalised mission is to support emerging artists from across the world, bringing their work to a wider audience through a curated programme of pop-up exhibitions and fairs as well as maintaining a vibrant online presence that showcases our wide network of talented artists.
This global visibility and support can be career-making and life-changing, with opportunities for sales, exhibitions, gallery representation, press and much more.
We are delighted to announce our newest opportunity, an exciting new collaborative exhibition with the Wimbledon Museum.
Drawing on the museum’s local history collections and archives, the exhibition will explore the uncharted connection between the women’s suffrage movement and Wimbledon.
Artists are invited to submit a proposal that responds to our curatorial statement, highlighting themes of colour symbolism, heritage, feminist history sport and the intersection of cultural memory with contemporary artistic practice.
Proposals that engage with the suffrage palette of purple, white and green, the history of Wimbledon, or wider narratives surrounding women’s visibility and empowerment are particularly encouraged.
This open call welcomes artists working across all disciplines to be considered for inclusion in the exhibition.”
The call will be open for entries on CuratorSpace until Midnight on Monday, 4th May 2026
