Seven young female artists have been selected as finalists for UNIQA SEE FUTURE Foundation mentorship program for visual artists

It’s official! Seven young female artists have been selected as finalists for @uniqa_see_future_foundation_ mentorship program for visual artists in partnership with Vienna’s @mqwien .

These include: Krasimira Butseva from Bulgaria (London-based), Marija Iva Gocić from Belgrade, Bruna Jakupović from Zagreb, Montenegrin artist Milica Mijajlović Živković, a Bosnian-Herzegovinian artist Mila Panić, Sofija Pavković, an artist from Belgrade, and Croatian artist Paula Tončić.

The winning selected artist will then receive mentorship from @sejlakameric , a renowned visual artist whose work spans film, photography, and installation, and often deals with themes of memory, trauma, and identity.

The selected finalist will also hold a solo exhibition at the art space MQ Freiraum within Vienna’s MuseumsQuartier in February 2026, receiving financial support for the production and presentation of a new work. MuseumsQuartier, located in the heart of Vienna, is a vibrant hub for contemporary art.

In the world of contemporary art, the journey to success can be complex, but it also offers inspiring opportunities for growth and recognition—especially for women, whose courage, persistence, and talent continue to break down barriers and reshape the artistic landscape. Supporting young, talented female artists contributes to creating an environment in which female artists can realise their full potential.
