About
Alex Mandova was the worthy recipient of the first ever Crail Festival Art Prize. Alex demonstrated a diverse set of skills, fused with an empathetic cohesive theme. The selection committee were highly impressed by how seamlessly Alex connected her artistic talents using her glass beadwork, fine arts, digital technology, and ceramics to create a unified, impactful body of work.
Alex’s final degree showcase piece, "Day by Day", garnered significant attention at the 2026 Dundee DJCAD Degree Show. Following the exhibition, she was selected as an RSA New Contemporaries Selected Artist as well as receiving the Crail Art Festival award.
Alex's work can be seen at the Crail Festival Art Exhibition , held in Crail Town Hall from 22nd July to 1st August 10am - 4pm
