2026 foundwork artist prize

The Foundwork Artist Prize is our annual juried award to recognize outstanding emerging and mid-career artists working in any media. Honorees receive unrestricted $10,000 grants, interviews in our Dialogues program, and studio visits with our jurors who include esteemed curators, gallerists, and artists. In addition to the honoree, three artists per year are named to our Short List and each receives a $1,000 micro-grant in support of their practice. The Prize is open to artists residing worldwide with limited exceptions and our annual selection process takes place each fall.
