The prestigious Hudgens Prize was established in 2010 by the Jacqueline Casey Hudgens Center for Art and Learning. The biennial prize cycle features an exhibition of four Hudgens Prize finalists in the fall of one year and the single winning artist’s solo show the following year. In each cycle, the $50,000.00 Hudgens Prize is awarded to one Georgia artist and is among the nation’s most significant visual arts awards. The purpose of the competition is to support, promote and elevate Georgia artists to national acclaim, and highlight the Hudgens Center’s prominence as the premiere visual arts destination in the region. The Hudgens Prize Award winner will be announced at The Hudgens Center on October 7th at 5:00 p.m..
