The Mary Alice Hadley Prize is an investment in creative capital for Louisville – an opportunity for local artists to enhance their careers with an enrichment experience. The jurors for the Hadley Prize will place heavy emphasis on the quality of the enrichment experience opportunity and how, in turn, that experience could enrich Louisville’s art ecosystem. Artists applying for the Prize should clearly demonstrate how the enrichment experience would be critical to their professional and personal development.

The Mary Alice Hadley Prize for Visual Art is funded by the George and Mary Alice Hadley Endowment Fund at the Community Foundation of Louisville. The Louisville Visual Art Association serves as the administrative partner to the project and competition process. 

The 2015 Hadley Prize application is due by May 15th, 2015. For more details and to view the application visit our Hadley Prize page.
