Get matched →The 1905 Legacy Award in Visual Arts honors outstanding Oregon artists whose life-long career and sustained excellence has significantly impacted the artistic community. Named in honor of Hallie E. Ford's birth year, the award is bestowed by nomination and reviewed by an anonymous panel of arts professionals. It affirms the Foundation's commitment to individual artists and joins the Hallie Ford Fellowship in the Visual Arts.
A jury of five arts professionals with roots in the Oregon and Pacific Northwest arts communities will nominate artists for consideration. Panelists include peer artists, Hallie Ford Fellows, scholars, curators and similar professionals representing a range of expertise. Each panelist will nominate two artists, and the panel will convene to determine a collective recommendation of one awardee and one alternate.
Fellowship funds are unrestricted and intended to assist with work and life expenses, including purchase of materials, production costs of artwork, and supplemental living or travel costs during the year of exploration, conceptualization and creation of new work.
