Eeckman art prize

Since its creation in 2016, the Eeckman Art Prize has been aimed at artists and art students whose practice reflects an affinity with drawing. Intended to support and promote the young art scene, the prize was initiated in close collaboration with teams from Eeckman, a broker specialising in art insurance.

Hailed by artists and professionals alike, this prize now offers unique visibility and international presence to the winner of each edition.

In addition to support with production and strong media exposure, the Eeckman Art Prize offers the winner the opportunity to exhibit their work in a solo show during the Art on Paper fair. The artist’s work is also presented in Eeckman's Brussels premises during Brussels Drawing Week.

Since 2023, Eeckman, a member of the PatrimOne group, has further strengthened its commitment to young contemporary artists and offers the winning artist the opportunity to exhibit their work in its international sites in Paris, Geneva and/or Monaco.

The prize is awarded by an international jury made up of key players in the contemporary art world. More information on Eeckman: eeckman.eu

SOFAM prize

SOFAM, the copyright management company for visual artists in Belgium, is awarding the SOFAM Focus Prize in a partnership with Art on Paper. The prize will be announced during the opening night of Art on Paper and will reward the artist whose artistic vision most convinces the jury. The prize consists of a sum of 2,000€ and a free SOFAM membership, which gives the artist access to his/her share of collective rights and any follower rights.

SOFAM is a non-profit cooperative society, managed by artists. It manages and defends the copyrights of visual artists in Belgium. In addition to its main tasks, which include receiving and distributing collective and resale rights, providing legal aid, or managing licences, it also supports the cultural sector - in a modest way - through artistic actions and partnerships. It does this by offering prizes, scholarships and organising exhibitions at the Maison Européenne des Auteurs et des Autrices.

SOFAM has been supporting Art on Paper since 2016. More information about SOFAM: sofam.be

Brussels Drawing Week

Brussels Drawing Week celebrates the vitality and diversity of drawing through a rich and varied program in the heart of Brussels. 

Launched at the initiative of the Art on Paper fair, in dialogue with the art institutions, centres and schools of reference in Brussels, the Brussels Drawing Week allows a broad Brussels audience – but also national and international – to (re)discover drawing, its history, its actors and its practices during an intense week of programming. 

From 2 to 8 October, the Brussels Drawing Week will bring together various events such as guided tours, workshops, conferences, meetings, exhibitions and performances.
