Again for 2016, ArtPrize is partnering with the Indianapolis Museum of Art to help fund an ambitious project by an Indiana artist for a prominent ArtPrize venue. The ArtPrize Pitch Night judging panel will select the winner, who receives a $5,000 grant to realize their proposal at the Ledyard Building during ArtPrize 2016. Five artists will be selected to give a five-minute presentation using five slides each. A panel of five experts and the audience will be able to ask questions of the artists following the presentations.
