The Eden Artists Now Award 2026
The Eden Arts Foundation is a New York-based arts nonprofit. The Eden Artists Now Award is its annual grant for visual artists. The 2026 cycle awards an unrestricted $3,000 grant plus a four-week residency at The Elizabeth Foundation for the Arts in Midtown Manhattan — a working studio environment in the city.
The grant is unrestricted: recipients aren't required to use the funds for a specific project or deliverable.
Selection is by an external jury independent of the foundation's leadership. The 2026 jury is Carmen Hermo (Curator of Contemporary Art, Museum of Fine Arts Boston) and Elena Ketelsen González (Associate Curator, MoMA PS1).
Eligibility is restricted to artists 25 and older. Selection criteria foreground creativity and originality.
Submission is by Google Form with 5–8 images. Application is free. The 2026 deadline was April 13; results announced June 15, 2026.
Jury: Carmen Hermo, Curator of Contemporary Art, Museum of Fine Arts Boston · Elena Ketelsen González, Associate Curator, MoMA PS1
