The Hopper Prize

The Hopper Prize is a grant-making institution and digital archiving platform offering a series of individual artist grants on a bi-annual basis totaling $22,000.00 USD.

We provide unrestricted cash grants in the amount of $3,500 and $1,000 to artists around the globe.

The Hopper Prize was established to provide grants, visibility, and career enhancing validation to artists who demonstrate a serious commitment to their work.

We accept submissions for grants through a bi-annual open call. Each grant cycle is juried by a new team of contemporary curators who select grant winners on the basis of artistic excellence and the promise of future potential.

  • 12 artists receive funding annually (6 in Spring, 6 in Fall)

  • 30 artists from each grant cycle (60 annually) will have their work archived at hopperprize.org

  • When you apply, you may select to have your work considered for additional exposure on Instagram @hopperprize
