About Us

Celebrating Young Artistic Talent

Art Nova is a global youth art competition born from the vision and legacy of Studio 83, a leading art education and creative hub founded in 2008. With a presence in Hong Kong, Taipei, and Shanghai, Studio 83 has spent over 17 years nurturing creativity, curating exhibitions, and building a bridge between young minds and the world of professional art.

The word “Nova” refers to a “new star” — a burst of light in the galaxy. Just like that, this award aims to spotlight young artistic talents and give their creativity a platform to shine brightly across borders.

Art Nova International Award is more than just a competition. It’s a stage, a celebration, and a launchpad for the artists of tomorrow.

Backed by the experience and creative leadership of Studio 83, Art Nova leverages its educational foundation, global network, and curatorial expertise to create opportunities for young artists to exhibit, compete, and grow.
From the Hong Kong Arts Centre to international collaborations, Studio 83 has redefined what art means for youth—and Art Nova carries this mission forward.
