Bombay Gin Artisan Competition

The Artisan Series artist call is open and submissions have started coming in!

ABOUT THE ARTISAN SERIES

Since 2010, BOMBAY SAPPHIRE and the Rush Philanthropic Arts Foundation have provided emerging artists with an international platform to showcase their work. The Bombay Sapphire Artisan Series is a search to discover this year’s next big name in visual arts. Thousands will submit their artwork online and selected artists will be rewarded with a platform to share their artistry with curators, collectors, and art enthusiasts around the world.

Art is everywhere, just waiting to be discovered. What will you create?
