MATERIAL WORKS ART AWARD 2026

The Material Works Art Award supports artists through a one-time $2500.00 award in exchange for an original artwork that will join our growing contemporary art collection. This award recognizes artistic excellence and aims to promote career advancement through increasing visibility and exposure. They are currently accepting applications from artists with contemporary art practices. Visual artists working worldwide in painting, photography, installation, sculpture, drawing, printmaking, mixed-media, experimental, and conceptual art are eligible to apply. The award is exchanged for an original artwork (one of similar monetary value to the award). This artwork will be negotiated and determined with the selected artist. The artwork joins their collection and is considered for future exhibition opportunities. MW will cover shipping costs.
