Шаблон:Short description Шаблон:Use dmy datesArtes Mundi (Latin: arts of the world) is an international arts organisation based in Cardiff, Wales. Established in 2002, it is committed to supporting international contemporary visual artists whose work engages with social reality and lived experience. The Artes Mundi exhibition and prize takes place biennially, running a sustained programme of outreach and learning projects alongside the public exhibition and prize giving.

Background

Founded in 2002, Artes Mundi was established as an initiative by Welsh artist and cultural entrepreneur William Wilkins with the support of the Welsh Assembly Government, the City of Cardiff, Arts Council Wales and BBC Cymru. Its founding premise was to bring exceptional international art to Wales centred on the Artes Mundi Prize with the associated exhibition taking place in Cardiff every two years. The name of the organisation, Latin for “arts of the world”, was conceived as a reflection of the focus on artists whose work engages with social realities, part of its core mission.

Since 2003, the Artes Mundi art prize has been held every two years at the National Museum Cardiff. Since 2014/15, the prize and exhibition has expanded into other venues The prize is the biggest art prize in the United Kingdom with £40,000 for each year's winner. Though the exhibition takes place in Cardiff, the focus is on international artists.
