Loop Fair – Jury & Awards
Jury
Each year, Loop Fair recognizes and awards the most outstanding proposals from among all the works displayed. These awards are granted by an independent jury, aimed at highlighting the excellence of key figures in the sector: the artists and their works, alongside the gallery owners, whose contribution is also considered essential for the advancement of this field.
The 2024 Loop Fair Jury will be composed by Elvira Dyangani Ose, Dirk Snauwaert, Andrea Lissoni, Benjamin Well and Daniela Zyman. Two films will be rewarded with the Loop Fair Award, and the Loop Fair Acquisition Award. Here to check last edition’s winners
