Samuel I. Newhouse Foundation
Annual prize for disabled artists in recognition of artistic merit. The Wynn Newhouse Award is given to artists of professional standing who have a disability as recognized by the Americans with Disabilities Act of 1990. Recipients share an annual award totaling $60,000, allocated by the judges. The selection committee changes each year and is made up of four prominent members of the arts community including artists, curators and critics. In addition to the grants, many winning artists are offered an exhibition at the Palitz Gallery, a gallery space on East 61st Street in New York City, which is donated by Syracuse University in their Lubin Center in New York.
Nominees must be artists of professional standing and have a disability as recognized by the Americans with Disabilities Act of 1990.
