The Foundwork Artist Prize is our annual juried award started in 2019 to recognize outstanding emerging and mid-career artists working in any media. Honorees receive unrestricted $10,000 grants and studio visits with our jurors who include acclaimed curators, gallerists, and artists. In addition to the honoree, three artists per year are also named to our short list. The Prize is open to artists worldwide with limited exceptions and our selection process takes place each fall.

This year’s honoree will receive an unrestricted $10,000 grant, remote studio visits with each member of our jury cohort, and a published interview as part of the Foundwork Dialogues program. Three artists will also be named to the 2025 Short List.

To be considered, artists must register and maintain a published profile on the Foundwork website, with at least 6 artworks and an artist statement on their profile page, throughout this year's selection period: 5:00 pm PT, September 26, 2025—5:00 pm PT, December 31, 2025.

The jury for the 2025 Foundwork Artist Prize includes highly acclaimed and visionary voices hailing from New York, Los Angeles, Boston, London, and Paris.
