About the Exhibitions
This first annual award and exhibition will showcase three emerging artists nominated by a jury of international art professionals. Based on practices that engage new ways of working within the mediums of painting, sculpture, drawing, printmaking, photography, ceramics, metals, glass and/or fibers, Temple Gallery's exhibition will feature examples of the finalists' work. The selected artists are: Sanford Biggers of New York; Michael Rakowitz of Chicago and New York; and Ryan Trecartin of Philadelphia. One of these three finalists will be selected to win the prize of $150,000.

About the Gallery
The mission of the Exhibitions and Public Programs department of Tyler School of Art is to explore and encourage experimentation in artistic practice and interpretation. The department provides a platform for young artists for the production and presentation of their work and a forum for the larger community to examine the most recent developments in contemporary art and their relationships to broader cultural contexts.
