Twining Humber Award
The Twining Humber Award is an unrestricted award of $10,000 given annually to a Washington State female-identified visual artist, age 60 or over, who has dedicated 25 years or more to creating art. The award is made possible by a generous gift from the painter Yvonne Twining Humber (1907-2004), who established the Irving Foundation and Yvonne Twining Humber Fund for Artistic Excellence to support the grant through Artist Trust in recognition of female-identified artists who oftentimes must interrupt or postpone art-making in order to answer the demands of family life. The award recognizes artistic excellence, professional accomplishment, and longstanding dedication to the visual arts.
APPLICANTS MUST BE:
A female-identified visual artist; 60 years of age or older by March 24, 2025;
Washington State residents at the time of application and payment;
A practicing artist who has dedicated 25 years or more to creating art.
Deadline: 24 March 2025
