Inviting Applications for the 2019
Judy Chicago Art Education Award
“I have devoted my life to trying to end the ongoing erasure of women’s achievements through my art;
I have left a path in my archives which is why they provide a way to BUILD on our history rather than repeat it.”
Judy Chicago
The non-profit arts organization Through the Flower invites artists, scholars, and educators to apply for the annual award named in honor of Judy Chicago, one of the Feminist Art Movement’s key founders.
The Judy Chicago Art Education Award was established by Through the Flower to support artists, scholars, and educators who through their research, teaching, and leadership have contributed to ending the erasure of women’s history. A $1,000 award is presented annually to projects which utilize any of the three Judy Chicago archives as a resource for research and/or teaching:
- Judy Chicago’s Visual Archive at the Bettye Boyd Dettre Library and Research Center at the National Museum of Women in the Arts (NMWA) (internships)
- Judy Chicago’s paper archives at the Schlesinger Library for the History of Women in America at Harvard (travel grant)
- Judy Chicago’s Art Education Collection at the Special Collections Library at Penn State, which includes The Dinner Party Curriculum Project (travel grant)
