About the Forward Art Prize

The Forward Art Prize offers two annual, unrestricted $10,000 awards for women visual artists living in Dane County, WI who show exceptional creativity in their work and compelling prospects for the future. Selections are made through an open, juried, competitive application process each summer.

This award is designed to provide recipients with the flexibility to pursue their own artistic, intellectual, and professional activities in the absence of specific obligations and only minor reporting requirements. The Forward Art Prize is specifically given to individual artists, not organizations. The discoveries, actions, and ideas that shape our community and society often begin with the ground-breaking efforts of individual creative people. The prize is award to women identifying visual artists who are deeply engaged in artistic practices that inspire new ways of thinking, new behaviors, or new ways of engaging communities. 

 
Additional funds also provided by Endres Manufacturing Company Foundation, the Evjue Foundation, Inc., charitable arm of The Capital Times, the W. Jerome Frautschi Foundation, and the Pleasant T. Rowland Foundation. Support also provided by generous individual donations.
