The Hopper Prize is now accepting entries for Spring 2023 artist grants.

They are offering $3,500 and $1,000 grants to artists and photographers around the world.

Grants will be awarded through an open call art competition juried by leading contemporary curators.

Current Jurors:

— Emily Edwards, Assistant Curator, Dallas Contemporary

— Inês Costa, Curator, Focal Point Gallery, Southend-on-Sea

The Hopper Prize was established in order to increase the recognition of artwork created by artists and photographers. The organization's aim is to advance artists' careers by providing them with unrestricted financial support that is coupled with a platform for increased visibility. The Hopper Prize accepts submissions twice a year via an open call.
