The Foundation has completed panel review for the 2026 cycle across all three award programs. Recipients will be introduced individually over the coming weeks, each with a short profile and, where possible, documentation of the work in progress.
How the panels worked
Each discipline convened a panel of practicing artists and arts professionals. Panelists reviewed applications independently before meeting to discuss, and recused themselves from any application where a professional relationship existed.
"What the panels responded to, again and again, was readiness — the sense that a project was genuinely prepared to become a finished work."
Applications for the next cycle will open on the schedule published on each program page. Staff hold open office hours for prospective applicants in the weeks before each deadline.
