Submissions open for the Janet & Walter Sondheim Prize

Application deadline – Monday, January 16, 2023

The Baltimore Office of Promotion & The Arts (BOPA) is proud to announce the 18th edition of the Janet & Walter Sondheim Art Prize. The prize will award $30,000 to a visual artist or visual artist collaborators living and working in the Baltimore region. Approximately three finalists will be selected for the final review for the prizes; their work will be exhibited in the Walters Art Museum July–September 2023. All Sondheim Prize Finalists will be awarded a Finalist Award of $2,500 each, and each semifinalist will receive a $500 award and an exhibition at School 33 Art Center in September/October 2023

We will also be awarding two residencies to finalists not selected for the Sondheim Prize: a six-week long fully funded residency at Civatella Ranieri in the Umbria region of Italy, and residency at the Bromo Seltzer Arts Tower.

Civitella Ranieri (civitella.org) is a residency program for international writers, composers, and visual artists. Since 1995, Civitella has hosted more than 1,000 Fellows and Director’s Guests. The Center enables its Fellows to pursue their work and to exchange ideas in a unique and inspiring setting.

The Bromo Seltzer Arts Tower (bromoseltzertower.com) has been a part of Baltimore’s skyline since 1911 and a beacon for innovation and the arts since 2007. The tower has been transformed into studio spaces for artists, writers, jewelers, architects, and more to create, exhibit, and sell their art. Located in the heart of the Bromo Arts & Entertainment District, this 15-story city landmark is the ideal location for artists to explore their practice.
