The Hopper Prize: Fall 2026 Artist Grants

The Hopper Prize invites artists and photographers aged 18 and older worldwide to apply for its Fall 2026 artist grants. Open to all media, genres, and subject matter, the program supports artists through unrestricted financial awards and opportunities for greater visibility.

Grant Awards

Six artists will receive grants totaling $13,000 USD:

• Two grants of $4,500 each

• Four grants of $1,000 each

Grant funds are unrestricted and may be used for any purpose chosen by the recipient.

Artist Recognition and Exposure

Thirty artists will have their work archived on the Hopper Prize website. Selected submissions may also be featured on the Hopper Prize Instagram feed, which reaches an audience of more than 175,000. Artists may opt in for consideration for these features, which are selected on a rolling basis before the application deadline.

Grant recipients and shortlisted artists will also have the opportunity to publish an interview in the Hopper Prize’s online journal, Insights into Contemporary Art. The journal provides a platform for artists to share their work, practice, and background.

Eligibility

The Hopper Prize is open to all artists aged 18 and older working in any medium. There are no restrictions on genre, subject matter, or artistic medium. Artists at all stages of their careers and from diverse cultural backgrounds are encouraged to apply.
