After over half a decade, the Claire Rosen & Samuel Edes Foundation Prize for Emerging Artists has come to an end. On behalf of all of the winners and finalists, UChicago Arts would like to thank Nik Edes and the Edes Foundation for supporting University of Chicago alums and helping artists make significant strides forward in their burgeoning careers.

The Edes Prize for Emerging Artists provided one-year, $30,000 awards to recent alums of the University of Chicago. This highly competitive award recognized the creative potential of artists who began their careers at the University of Chicago. It provided emerging artists with the means to substantially advance their practices.
