Helen Frankenthaler Award for Painting

In 2024, following a multi-year gift to support this award, the Helen Frankenthaler Foundation made an endowment gift to support the award in perpetuity in memory of the artist, who was an early contributor to FCA. The $45,000 award is made annually through Grants to Artists to an individual demonstrating Helen Frankenthaler’s passion for innovation and experimentation in painting.

The Helen Frankenthaler Award for Painting is administered by a confidential nomination and selection process. Applications and unsolicited nominations are not accepted.
