Sarah Cain Awarded the Joan Mitchell Foundation 2020 Painters & Sculptors Grant
Galerie Lelong & Co., New York, congratulates Sarah Cain, recipient of the Joan Mitchell Foundation 2020 Painters & Sculptors Grant. The annual Painters & Sculptors Grants provide 25 artists based in the U.S. with unrestricted funds of $25,000 each. In this moment of profound change and contraction within the arts landscape, the Foundation felt it was particularly important to continue with this annual grants cycle, providing artists with flexible financial support as well as the recognition essential to career progress.
The selected artists were first nominated by artist peers and arts professionals from throughout the United States and then chosen through a multi-phase jurying process, which this year was conducted virtually. In addition to the financial award, grantees also gain access to a network of arts professionals, who can provide consultations on career development and financial management, and become eligible to apply for residencies at the Joan Mitchell Center in New Orleans.
