BMW and Art Basel to Partner on a new Global Collaboration: The BMW Art Journey to Send Artists on Journeys of Creative Discovery
Starting in 2015, Art Basel and BMW will support emerging artists by awarding the BMW Art Journey, enabling them to go on their own journey of creative discovery. Functioning as a mobile studio, the BMW Art Journey can take artists almost anywhere in the world - to develop new ideas, discover new themes, and envision new creative projects.

Artists who are exhibiting in Art Basel's sectors for emerging artists in Miami Beach and Hong Kong are eligible to receive a BMW Art Journey. It will be awarded twice a year, to one artist among those who exhibit at each location.

One artist from each shortlist will then be selected to receive the BMW Art Journey.
