George Nick Prize
The George Nick Prize is a juried award given on the basis of merit and selected by a blind jury, led by Professor Emeritus George Nick. The competition is open to all current MassArt students (undergraduate, graduate, and PCE), but it is restricted to original works done in drawing, painting, and printmaking.
The purpose of the George Nick Prize is to encourage emerging artists who create two-dimensional works - through observational abilities, drawing skills, and the understanding of the role of tone and color - that can be recognized in terms of subject and an emphasis on forms of realism. The total prize amount is approximately $13,000, to be split between the selected recipients.
