SIENNA GALLERY EMERGING ARTIST AWARDS

EAone is given bi-annually to an emerging studio jewelry artist showing merit, skill, and innovation in their jewelry. All work considered must be one of a kind (to submit works that are in edition or multiples please apply for EAtwo). The recipient receives a solo exhibition at the gallery and a published monograph to accompany the exhibition. The artist will also receive different forms of support before the exhibition including a technical advisor and a concept advisor. The goal of this award is to give an emerging artist serious practical experience and the opportunity to be publicized, advertised and supported in as many ways possible at the beginning of their career. Our past recipients have been successful so it seems like it's working!

Jurors for 2009 include: Jane Adlin, Curator of Contemporary Decorative Arts at the Metropolitan Museum of Art, and Anya KIvarkis, recent past recipient.

UPDATE This award is now also sponsored by KLIMT02 who will be giving a year's membership to their online consortium to the EAone recipient. Thank you!!!

Application available HERE. Postmark by September 30.
