Congratulations to Terran Last Gun for receiving the Louis Comfort Tiffany Foundation 2024 Biennial Award. Unrestricted grants of $20,000 each have been awarded to 20 artists working in painting, drawing, sculpture, photography, video, craft and new media.
The purpose of the funds is to give artists the opportunity to produce new work and push the boundaries of their creativity. Recipients were chosen from a pool of 125 nominees proposed by national nominators—artists, critics, museum professionals, Foundation trustees and previous award winners. A seven-member jury, listed below, selected winners for their talent and individual artistic strength. A full- color catalog documenting the work of grant recipients will be published this spring.
Foundation Trustee Cindy Sherman said of the award, “The Tiffany grant is one the great awards that an artist can receive. Being given material support to pursue opportunities and expand the scope of your practice is, ultimately, invaluable. With public and private support for the arts, and especially grants for individual artists, seeming to dwindle with each passing year, awards like the Tiffany grant have never been more important.”
Last Gun joins a cohort of 2024 honorees including David Alekhuogie, Teresa Baker, Renata Cassiano Alvarez, Jordan Ann Craig, Jes Fan, Emily Gherard, Kim Harty, Jane Irish, Olalekan Jeyifous, Lotus L.
