Blair Dickinson prize

The 20th Blair Dickinson Memorial Prize will be awarded by the School of Art at this year's commencement ceremonies to an undergraduate or graduate woman who has pursued courses in the field of studio art at Yale, including drawing, filmmaking, graphic design, painting, photography, printmaking or sculpture.

The prize, which carries an award of $16,500, is open to both majors and nonmajors.

The prize seeks to encourage the woman who "demonstrates a developing consciousness, a personal vision, and a spirit of search, regardless of whether she has evolved a concrete realization of that vision; a woman who shows promise of fulfilling Blair Dickinson's (Yale '74) concept of an artist."

Applicants must submit a one-page statement of not more than 500 words describing their goals, their work and the ideas it represents; and not more than 10 slides of their work. The slides should relate to the statement, as the statement will be read aloud while they are shown. Videocassettes, DVDs and Macintosh CD-ROMs may be submitted in addition to slides. Applications are due by April 28 and should be sent to the Chair, Blair Dickinson Memorial Prize Committee, Yale University School of Art, Rm. 122, 1156 Chapel St., New Haven, CT 06520-8339.
