The Nancy Graves Foundation is pleased to announce the recipients of the 2024 Nancy Graves Grant for Visual Artists.
Established through a provision of the artist’s Last Will and Testament, the Foundation has supported the work and artistic development of individual artists since 2001. This year’s grantees include rafa esparza, Pippa Garner, Lotus Kang, and Ruben Ulises Rodriguez Montoya. Initially nominated by artists and arts professionals from across the country, a second panel of jurors selected four grantees to receive unrestricted funds to work in a technique, medium or discipline that is different from the one for which they are primarily recognized.
Each artist will receive an award of $12,500.
