Glickman McClure Artist Award 2018

The Glickman McClure Artist Award supports the creation of new work and study by emerging artists in California. Visual artists working in any media including ceramics, painting, sculpture, glass, printmaking, fiber, drawing, mixed media, installation, photography, or video are eligible to apply.

Qualifications include high-caliber, original work completed within the past five years. Preference is given to under-recognized or emerging artists with limited exhibit history who are dedicated to making and exhibiting art and need financial support. The award is limited to artists residing in California and will be determined by a panel of experts and donors.

The selected artist will receive $2,500 and a solo exhibit in Pence's Dowling Community Gallery. Awardees are expected to create new work for the exhibit and lead a workshop or talk based on their work. Applications require 10-15 images or up to 3 video files (5 MB maximum) of work completed within the past five years at 300 dpi minimum, along with an artist's resume or CV, artist statement (no longer than 1000 words), and explanation of how the grant will help financially. The application fee is $25 ($20 for Pence members). Award announcement and applicant notification is scheduled for March 2, 2018, with the solo exhibit running January-February 2019.
