Call for Applicants, Cincinnati Art Museum: The Marjorie Schiele Prize
The Cincinnati Art Museum announces the Marjorie Schiele Prize, a triennial competition that honors the work and legacy of Marjorie Schiele, a Cincinnati artist whose generous bequest established it. Eligibility is restricted to living artists and designers who present a vision or model for transforming our present reality by stretching the limitations of painting and sculpture. Applicants must hold a degree from an accredited school of art and have received prior recognition in publication or exhibition beyond a local level.
The Marjorie Schiele Prize will alternate between being an open competition, leading to an exhibition judged by art peers and critics; and a professional invitational, with a jury of peers and critics pre-selecting nominators and winners. $25,000 in prize money will be awarded at the discretion of the jury.
The jurors for the first Marjorie Schiele Prize are Claudia Gould, Director, Jewish Museum (New York), Robert Storr, Dean, Yale School of Art (New Haven), Max Hollein, Director, Städel Museums (Frankfurt, Germany) and Cincinnati Art Museum Director, Aaron Betsky.
Nominated or selected works will be exhibited at the Cincinnati Art Museum or a venue it designates for no less than two months. Winning works must be offered to the Art Museum for accessioning into its permanent collection.
NO ENTRY FEE.
