James Renwick Alliance for Craft - Chrysalis Award
2023 FOCUS: FIBER
The Chrysalis Award was created by the James Renwick Alliance for Craft to promote and inspire US-based emerging craft artists. "Emerging" is defined as someone early in their professional artistic career, with no regard to age, who has not had a solo museum exhibition or exclusive representation by a commercial gallery. The ideal candidate demonstrates excellence in their work and a commitment to developing in unique and dynamic ways.
Our 2023 award will focus on emerging artists working in FIBER. Different mediums will be represented each year.
The awardee will receive a $5,000 unrestricted award, a one-year membership to JRACraft, the opportunity to give a formal presentation about their work at a JRACraft event, and a trip to Washington, DC to meet with other artists, collectors, and JRA members. The 2023 Chrysalis Award is generously made possible by JRACraft member Chris Rifkin.
