AXA XL, a division of AXA, developed the AXA Art Prize in partnership with the New York Academy of Art. Over the past three years, the Prize has become one of the premier student art competitions in the U.S. and is open to figurative paintings, drawings and prints created by undergraduate and graduate art students. Exhibition Jurors included curators from esteemed art institutions and museums such as the Los Angeles County Museum of Art, the Metropolitan Museum of Art, the National Gallery of Art, and the Solomon R. Guggenheim Museum.

The first prize is awarded $10,000 and the second prize $5,000. This year, winners will be chosen by renowned artists Bo Bartlett, Rachel Feinstein, Elizabeth Peyton, Calida Rawles, and Peter Saul alongside Jennifer Schipf from AXA XL. Prize winners will be announced in November, 2021.
