ESTE PREMIA | Don Baez Acquisition Award de ESTE ARTE

Within the framework of 10 years, ESTE ARTE has the honor and pride of announcing the incorporation of two awards which seek to recognize, enhance and strengthen the work that has been done for years in Uruguay.

ESTE ARTE and Don Baez present the inaugural Don Baez Acquisition Award for the purchase of a work of art valued at up to USD 10,000 exhibited at ESTE ARTE. This award is funded entirely by Claudia and Diana Weiss, renowned businesswomen, collectors and art lovers.

In this first edition of the award, the jury will be made up of Claudia Weiss, president of Don Baez; Diana Weiss, patron of said organization, lawyer and art collector; and Laura Bardier, art historian, independent curator and director of ESTE ARTE. The jury will select an artwork, among all the galleries and artists participating in the 10th edition of ESTE ARTE, that will become part of the Don Baez Collection.
