Dior’s ‘The Art of Color’ Visual Arts Awards Honors Young Talent

For its third edition—and in partnership with Luma Arles and the École National Supérieure de la Photographie in Arles—this year’s Dior Photography and Visual Arts Award for Young Talents, ‘The Art of Color,’ recognized 14 individuals. The 11 Laureates and three Jury Mentions were given the theme called ‘Face to Face,’ creating works representing their interpretations of the theme. Instead of revealing these works in Arles this month, they instead were revealed in a digital exhibition on the Dior Beauty and Luma Arles Instagram accounts, as well as the Luma Arles website.
