Art Daily takes a look at the Foundation for Contemporary Arts’s initiative to support solo exhibitions by emerging visual artists:
“The Ellsworth Kelly Award is a $40,000 grant to support a solo exhibition by an emerging, mid-career, or under-recognized contemporary visual artist at a regional art museum or university or college art gallery in the United States. The program and selection process will be administered by FCA. The first recipient of The Ellsworth Kelly Award is the Institute of Contemporary Art at the University of Pennsylvania, for a solo exhibition of film, video, and sculpture by filmmaker and artist Cauleen Smith in fall 2018, curated by Anthony Elms. Ms. Smith was a recipient of FCA’s Grants to Artists award in 2014 ($30,000).”
