Hopper PrizeThe Hopper Prize is now accepting entries for their Fall 2025 artist grants. For this open call, grant amounts have been increased to $4,500. 2 artists will each receive $4,500 and 4 artists will each receive $1,000.
The Hopper Prize was established to provide grants, visibility, and career enhancing validation to artists who demonstrate a serious commitment to their work.
We accept submissions for grants through a bi-annual open call. For each grant cycle, a new cohort of artists is selected to receive financial support and widespread exposure. Grant winners and finalists are chosen solely on the basis of artistic excellence and the promise of future potential.
We view the field of visual art in its broadest and most inclusive sense and therefore make our awards available to artists working in any media. In addition to grants, 30 artists will be selected for a shortlist, interviewed for their online journal, and receive promotion via their Instagram feed, currently reaching an audience over 150k.
