Saturday the 13th of August will see the festive opening of the annually recurring show ‘Best of Graduates’. Once again a selection of around 20 of this years’ most talented graduating artists has been made from the Dutch art academies. A diverse selection of works will be presented, ranging from pure formalist paintings to installations documenting and manipulating the actions and attitudes of idiosyncratic elements of Dutch society.

Participating artists stand at the beginning of their artistic careers and the ‘Best of Graduates’ show is conceived as to offer a springboard to enhance their visibility beyond the walls of the academy.

Ron Mandos wishes to further their involvement with these young artists with the ‘Ron Mandos Young Blood Award’. This prize consists of a sum of money and more importantly a presentation in the gallery or at an art fair in 2012. New to this years’ edition of the show will be the ‘Public’s Prize’ voted for by you. The winners of both prizes will be announced on Saturday the 3rd of September in the gallery.
