The Judy Chicago Art Education Award

The Judy Chicago Art Education Award, funded by MaryRoss Taylor, is a $2,500 prize that honors Judy Chicago and her pioneering work as an art educator. The award is open to scholars, artists, and educators creating projects based on research that incorporates any of the archives included in the Judy Chicago Research Portal, launched in October 2019. These archives include: Judy Chicago's Visual Archive at the Bettye Boyd Dettre Library and Research Center at the National Museum of Women in the Arts (NMWA); Judy Chicago's paper archives at the Schlesinger Library for the History of Women in America at Harvard; and Judy Chicago's Art Education Collection at the Special Collections Library at Penn State, which includes the K-12 Dinner Party Curriculum.

Winners are awarded a certificate and a $2,500 prize, presented at an award ceremony held in July 2021 at the Through the Flower Art Space in Belen, New Mexico. The award celebrates a rare collaboration among a public university library, a private university library, and a national museum to link their collections and provide scholars with a robust and accessible research experience. The Judy Chicago Research Portal highlights the impact of Chicago's work and feminist practice via art and art education. Through the Flower sponsors and supports projects focused on the importance of art and its role in countering the erasure of women's achievements in history.
