MIA Art Collection Awards 2024
The MIA Art Collection Awards 202 is a gala in celebration of art, culture, and philanthropy, set against the backdrop of a stunning contemporary venue. This prestigious event gathers an exclusive audience of artists, collectors, and patrons of the arts, all united by their passion for empowering women in the arts.
The evening begins with a red-carpet arrival, where guests, dressed in elegant attire, are greeted by Alejandra Castro Rioseco, the founder of MIA Art collection.
The MIA Awards are a prestigious recognition presented by the MIA Art Collection to honor outstanding women, men and institutions in the arts. These awards celebrate artists, curators, and cultural leaders who have made significant contributions to the art world, pushing boundaries and inspiring change for women.
MIA Art Collection, in collaboration with DIFC Dubai and under the auspices of Istituto Italiano di Cultura di Abu Dhabi, brings “LAVINIA: In the Footsteps of a Female Italian Iconic Artist”, an exceptional exhibition curated by a team of international curators directed by Alejandra Castro Rioseco with special co-curator Mr. Matteo SORMANI, that brings never seen artworks to Dubai, a privilege to the eye of the art lover and enthusiast, in the imponent DIFC The Gate as background, during Art Dubai.
The exhibition transports us to the baroque period in 16th century Italy, or late mannerism, with works exclusively by women artists, and is centered around an exclusive artwork of that period by the famous and iconic artist Lavinia Fontana, one of the most renowned women artists in history.
This is a captivating exhibition of female artistic voices, inspired by the fundamental reality that one of the most famous artists of the time was a woman, named Lavinia Fontana. She produced over 125 artworks of which only 34 are recovered with her original signature. Lavinia Fontana is a true icon of the arts and her works have been exhibited in the most important museums in the world. Her work is now brought for the first time to Dubai by MIA ART Collection and will be exhibited in the DIFC, The Gate.

Serendipity
MIA ART COLLECTION, IN COLLABORATION WITH DUBAI CULTURE,
PRESENT ITS ART EXHIBITION ‘.SERENDIPITY’
AT THE AL SAFA DESIGN & ARTS LIBRARY CENTER
Serendipity or “the magic of finding something while looking for something else”, a simple and wonderful word that has its origin in the Arabic vocabulary, opens our eyes away from an immediate reality to a possible dream still concealed.
Art bears a reasonable resemblance to the world of soccer. It is a world full of glamour and abysmal inequalities. The stars who shine with their own light fill their paychecks with astronomical figures while the team players, the bulk of the creators, struggle to make ends meet and even have to combine their creative work with other jobs.
Is creative work seen as a real job? Or is it simply seen as a hobby? Is this disregard for art the same for all artists or is it clearly sexist? The art market is not only made up of creators, other agents no less important make it up.
It is difficult to make a living from art without public or private commissions, sales, exhibitions. The protagonists in this case must be the public commissioners, the gallery owners or collectors who decide to buy and sell and make some of the artists visible. Is it the market that sets the trend or risk-taking gallerists and collectors? Is there a trend towards male art? Is there a trend? Does the price of the work vary if it is the work of a female artist? Do female gallerists and collectors bet more on female artists or, as Louise Bourgeois used to say, do these female gallerists reject outright the art of their female counterparts?
In technical work, do we see an abrupt difference between men and women? Since the restoration of works of art is mostly done by women, is this a key factor?
MIA ART Collection in the framework of the international fair ARCO proposes to develop a conversation between the different agents of the world of artistic creation to achieve answers, ideas, notions, strategies, currents about the price or value of art with a clear vision of gender. Thinking about how artists are valued when exhibiting, participating in fairs and / or private exhibitions for this conversation.
