About
The Spector Craft Prize for Emerging Artists gives five craft artists each year a $10,000 award plus mentorship, professional development and a place at the annual Spector Craft Summit. A jury of artists, curators, scholars and designers looks for technical skill, a distinct perspective on American craft, growth potential and work that joins tradition with new approaches to materials. Applicants submit two to five images of work. Information sessions run December 9 and January 23, and recipients are announced in September 2027.
