We're thrilled to announce that Khadhok — Tibetan Artists' Collective is the winner of the annual Rubin Museum Himalayan Art Prize, an unrestricted $30,000 cash prize and the largest international award in support of contemporary art related to the Himalayan regions. 

The Rubin Art Prize was established in 2024 to support living artists and collectives who have made a mark in creative and critically-relevant dialogues between Himalayan art and contemporary life. 

Khadhok — Tibetan Artists' Collective was founded in Dharamshala, India in 2023 to provide a dedicated space for Tibetan contemporary visual artists to present their work, exchange ideas, and strengthen their practice, with a focus on emerging artists. Its name, Khadhok, means "color" in Tibetan, reflecting the diversity, vibrancy, and richness of Tibetan expression. 

"We were deeply moved when we first heard about the award,” said the founding members of Khadhok, an India-based artist collective that is a platform for Tibetan artistic exchange, community engagement, and youth empowerment. “As a young collective, being recognized by an institution with such a long history in Himalayan art makes us feel truly seen and valued. This recognition strengthens our confidence and encourages us to keep growing. Most importantly, it changes what
is possible for Khadhok, allowing us to build a strong foundation that truly lasts and supports artists and our community for many years to come."
