2026 JRA Craft Chrysalis Award in Ceramics
The Chrysalis Award was created by the James Renwick Alliance for Craft to support and inspire emerging craft artists in the United States. Eligible applicants are those who are in the early stages of their professional artistic careers—regardless of age—and who have completed their training within the past five years. This includes academic programs such as a BFA or MFA, as well as self-directed or alternative forms of study. Each year, the award focuses on a different medium. This year’s award will recognize an emerging artist working in ceramics. The recipient will receive a $5,000 unrestricted award, a one-year JRACraft membership, and the opportunity to present their work at a JRACraft event.
Deadline: August 23, 2026
