20th – 29th January, ART WORK SPACE, London
One of the largest photographic events, The Sony World Photography Awards, will be showcasing its winners and finalists in the 2009/10 Global Tour at ART WORK SPACE gallery London. The event is a celebration of the still image and plays tribute to professional, amateur photographers and fine artists from all over the world.
The winning photographs have been chosen from over 60,000 images submitted from 139 countries and cover an array of categories including Current Affairs, Sport, Contemporary Issues, Arts, Advertising and Fashion. The tour itself is the main component off the prize as it gives these stunning, beautiful and thought provoking images a world stage with audiences from the most influential in the photography industry to the bystanders of the exhibitions hosted in New York, Mexico, Toronto, Hong Kong, Kuala Lumpur, Bangkok, Paris and Berlin.
This year the London Exhibition will be acquitted at the new independent gallery ART WORK SPACE. The gallery is an ideal fitting for the Global Tour, as the goal set by its creator Naomi Murtagh is to create a space in which to display works by emerging artist in all the various disciplines of Fine Art.
The Global Tour is a monumental occasion in the London and World Art Scene. This year we are truly blessed by the pieces submitted from the applicants as we are given the opportunity to see the influences and experiences from people all over the world, which will in turn inspire the next generation of up and coming artists and photographers.
