The Ellis-Beauregard Foundation is pleased to announce a $50,000 award for a United States artist working in the visual arts. Applications will open on March 1, 2025, and close on May 1, 2025. In addition to the cash award, The Ellis-Beauregard Foundation invites the awardee to bring a presentation of their choice to our Exhibition/Performance space in Rockland, Maine.

Within the $50,000 award, the recipient is responsible for all artist fees, travel/transportation to and from Maine, and all production elements needed to present their work in Maine. Any money remaining beyond these expenses are to be fully retained by the artist to use as they need.

 

Eligibility

The competition is open to artists who currently reside in the United States and are 18 years of age or older. Artists at any stage of their careers are welcome to apply. However, applicants who are currently enrolled or will be enrolling in degree-granting programs are ineligible.

 

Review Process

The entries will be judged on artistic excellence by a five-member jury.
