Marzee Graduate Prize for Sihui Li (BFA 2022) and Tamia Dellinger (MFA 2022)

"The Marzee International Graduate Show is undoubtedly the highlight of our exhibition calendar and with it we aim to endorse the work of a new generation of jewellery artists; to increase their exposure to the wider public and to encourage a dialogue between makers and their wearers.
The first Marzee Graduate Show took place in 1986 and since then has grown from a modest exhibition, showing work by a small number of students from the Dutch schools – the Gerrit Rietveld Academie in Amsterdam, the Academie Beeldende Kunsten in Maastricht and ArtEz Hogeschool voor de Kunsten in Arnhem – to an event unparalleled in size and scope. Since 1995, the show has included students from a growing number of international schools and academies, providing a fascinating insight into the ideas and preoccupations that motivate young artists from around the world. 
Every year we award the Marzee Graduate Prize to a number of the most promising graduates in recognition of their outstanding work. The prizewinners are offered a week-long  residency at the Ravary estate in Belgium and the work created is then exhibited during the following year’s Graduate Show."
