The Hopper Prize invites applications from visual artists
April 21, 2022
Deadline: May 17, 2022
The Hopper Prize was established to increase recognition of the work of visual artists and advance the careers of those individuals by providing them with unrestricted financial support. The program views the field of visual arts in its broadest sense and therefore makes awards available to artists engaged in artistic practice that spans production methods. The program is committed to supporting artists from diverse cultural backgrounds at any stage of their professional careers. Applications are encouraged in all media, including painting, photography, sculpture, drawing, video, performance, conceptual, experimental, installation, printmaking, new media, and textile art.
In this grant cycle, unrestricted grants of $3,500 will be awarded to two artists, and $1,000 will be awarded to four artists. In addition to grant recipients, Hopper curators select a shortlist of 60 artists annually (30 in the spring and 30 in the fall) to have their work archived alongside grant winners. These elevated portfolio presentations are a growing resource for curators, gallery owners, collectors, and art enthusiasts.
There is a non-refundable $40 application fee. Eligible applicants include any artist over the age of 18. For complete program guidelines and application instructions, see the Hopper Prize website.
