Emerging artists<br />

RBS Emerging Artist Award<br />

The RBS Emerging Artist Award is a unique initiative designed to bring the business and the<br />

<strong>arts</strong> closer together while recognising and promoting the work of emerging Australian<br />

contemporary artists. Each year, carefully chosen contemporary artists are invited to<br />

compete for the award. They define emerging artists as Australian artists who do not<br />

consistently sell their work for more than $10 000 and whose excellence is evident, but yet<br />

to be recognised on a commercial scale.<br />
