The Dallas Museum of Art (DMA) has announced its Awards to Artists for 2019. The museum gives three annual awards: the Clare Hart DeGolyer Memorial Fund Award, the Arch and Anne Giles Kimbrough Fund Award, and the Otis and Velma Davis Dozier Travel Grant.
Six recent alumni from UT graduate and undergraduate Studio Art programs were selected for this year's Kimbrough and Clare Hart DeGolyer Memorial Fund Awards, including Ryan Hawk (MFA in Studio Art, 2017), Brooke Johnson (BFA in Studio Art and Art History, 2019), Rachael Starbuck (MFA in Studio Art, 2017), riel Sturchio (MFA in Studio Art, 2018), Rachael Henson (BFA in Studio Art, 2018) and Haley Hill (BFA in Studio Art, 2019).
Kristen Gaylord, the Assistant Curator of Photographs at the Amon Carter Museum of American Art in Fort Worth, served as this year’s guest juror. Since 1980, the funds have awarded more than $800,000 to artists. The funds provide support to the artists for travel, supplies, equipment and residencies, among other endeavors.
