SMU’s Meadows School of the Arts is launching the Meadows Prize, an award that will be granted to four artists per year.
The school will award emerging professionals with an international profile in advertising, art, art history, arts administration, cinema-television, corporate communications, dance, journalism, music and theatre.
The prize includes housing for a one to three month residency in Dallas, transportation expenses, studio/office space and project costs, and a living stipend. In return, recipients will be expected to work with Meadows students and to leave a lasting legacy in Dallas, such as a work of art that remains in the community, a production that would be performed at a local venue, establishing a new student outreach program, etc.
A nominating committee of a dozen international arts professionals is currently working on selecting the first round of prize recipients. Those winners will be announced in October during the opening of the Dallas Center for the Performing Arts, and will start their residencies later this fall.
