The Hopper Prize is now accepting entries for our Spring 2024 artist grants.
We 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:
— Lauren Rosati, Associate Curator, The Metropolitan Museum of Art

The Hopper Prize was established in order to increase the recognition of artwork created by artists and photographers. Our aim is to advance artists' careers by providing them with unrestricted financial support that is coupled with a platform for increased visibility.
