The Nancy Graves Foundation is pleased to announce the recipients of the 2023 Nancy Graves Grant for Visual Artists.

Established through a provision of the artist’s Last Will and Testament, the Foundation has supported the work and artistic development of individual artists since 2001. This year’s grantees include Lily Cox-Richard, Maya Freelon, Ja’Tovia Gary, and Gina Osterloh. Initially nominated by artists and arts professionals from across the country, a second panel of jurors selected four grantees to receive unrestricted funds to work in a technique, medium or discipline that is different from the one for which they are primarily recognized.

Each artist will receive an award of $12,500.
