Short Description
Franklin Furnace is honored to present the inaugural Jacki Apple Award in Performance and Artist Projects, celebrating the enduring impact of Jacki Apple on the New York art scene. This award is expected to be an annual award given over the next ten years and reflects Jacki Apple’s commitment to nurturing artistic talent, demonstrated through her multifaceted career as a writer, educator, radio host, and artist since the early 1980s.

Franklin Furnace and sister organization LACE (Los Angeles Contemporary Exhibitions) each expect to distribute one $10,000 award per year for a total of 20 awards over the coming decade.
