The MADE Summer Open was established to bring attention and focus to professional artists in Wales, and Cardiff in particular through creating a winner as chosen by a jury of gallerists, curators and previous winners who will award a winner's prize of a solo show in MADE's gallery programme the following year.
This raises the bar in several ways; it announces a dedicated period of intention to produce a new body of work, within a curatorial framework of development through conversation towards a show. It focuses promotional energies and press into creating audience interest and engagement, as well as a stated element of investment to draw other funding support for the artist from public bodies and private sponsors.
The Summer art prize has successfully contributed to raising the profiles of former winners Zena Blackwell, Lucia Jones, Kate Shooter and Ellie Young as well as creating attention and interest from the art viewing arena within Wales and beyond. It acknowledges that serious talent exists and can thrive outside London.
Cafodd Arddangosfa Agored yr Haf MADE ei sefydlu i dynnu sylw a ffocws at artistiaid proffesiynol yng Nghymru, ac yng Nghaerdydd yn benodol, drwy greu enillydd sy’n cael eu dewis gan banel artist wedi ei ddewis/dewis gan artistiaid sydd eisioes wedi derbyn y wobr gan guraduron MADE, yn codi’r bar mewn sawl ffordd.
Mae’n datgan bwriad penodol i ffocsu ar greu corff newydd o waith, o fewn fframwaith curadurol i’w datblygu drwy sgwrs , i’r perwyl o greu arddangosfa newydd o waith.
