Phoenix Art Museum has opened the annual call for submissions for the institution’s Sally and Richard Lehmann Emerging Artist Awards, a juried grant program that provides recognition and $10,000 in financial support for emerging, professional artists based in Arizona.
Applicants who are not chosen for the Lehmann Emerging Artist Awards will be automatically entered into the running for the Sette/Cohn Artist Award, a $5,000 prize awarded to an emerging Arizona artist selected from the Lehmann Emerging Artist Award application pool.
The call opened March 1 and is open through April 27 to qualifying artists who wish to present their work for consideration. There is no cost to submit an application. Up to two Lehmann Emerging Artist Awards recipients and one Sette/Cohn Artist Award recipient will be announced the week of Sept. 21 with work exhibited in summer 2027.
To apply, visit www.phxart.org/art/artist-awards or www.artlinkphx.org/calls.
