About the grant: The 2025 Abbey Mural Prize is juried by members of the National Academy, including both artists and architects. The Abbey Mural Prize supports projects with grants typically ranging from $10,000 to $40,000. Grants are awarded to create or restore public murals, especially those that promote accessibility and serve local audiences. While murals are conventionally defined as paintings or mosaics on a wall, the prize also encourages proposals that broaden and challenge the definition of what a contemporary mural can be.
