About This Call
The Pence Gallery announces that its Emerging Artist Award 2026 is now open for application. This award supports the creation of new work by emerging artists in California and the opportunity to share that work through an exhibit and an artist talk in January to February 2027. Artists must use the award of $4000 to further their work in a significant direction and may work in any medium, except for video or sound art.
Artists must live in California at the time of application, and be 18 or older. 'Emerging' is defined as an artist who is early in their art career, who has limited experience exhibiting, but not an extensive solo exhibit history. The artist's submitted work must be of high caliber, original, and completed within the past five years.
Applications must include a resume including exhibit history & education, an artist statement, and 10-15 digital images of current work. The application fee is $40 ($35 for Pence members). The deadline is April 9, 2026 by 9 PM PST, and the winner will be announced by April 29th. This award is sponsored by Rosa Marquez & Yatish Mishra.
