"First Online Auction in Support of Young Talents" National Art Contest 2026

The contest is run by the Art Vernissage auction house together with the Academy of Arts of Uzbekistan and the creative association "Amaliy sanʼat". It aims to find and support talented young artists and craftspeople and to give them a chance to sell their works officially, including to foreign buyers. Participants choose one theme: "Flavours of Uzbekistan", "Art and Time", "Between Colour and Light" or "Cultural Heritage of Uzbekistan". Ten winners are chosen in each of three categories (30 in total); their original works are shown in the Art Vernissage gallery and prepared for an international online auction.
