2012年3月,由今日美术馆主办、旗下《东方艺术·大家》杂志承办,瑞信独家冠名赞助的第三届“今日艺术奖”(Todav Art Award)正式启动。作为国内首个由美术馆设立的当代艺术奖项,“今日艺术奖”创办于2010年,面向全球华人艺术家开放。该奖项的设立旨在推动公众对当代中国艺术的讨论,每年颁发给一位有持久的创作力,敢于挑战艺术传统定义,对视觉艺术和当代文化有创造性启发和拓展的艺术家。 In March 2012, the third Todav Art Award, sponsored by Today Art Museum and hosted by the magazine Oriental Art, was officially launched under the exclusive title of Credit Suisse. As the first contemporary art prize set up by the Art Museum in China, “Today Art Award” was founded in 2010 and is open to the global Chinese artists. The award was set up to promote public discussion of contemporary Chinese art and presented each year to an artist who is enduringly creative, daring to challenge the traditional definition of art, and creatively inspires and expands visual art and contemporary culture.
