ArtPrize Pitch Nights

ArtPrize launched Pitch Night in 2013 to discover exciting, ambitious projects nationwide and help artists overcome barriers to participating in the annual event. Following an open call for proposals, five artists are selected to take the stage at each event, where they have five minutes to pitch their ideas for ArtPrize 2026 to a panel of local art experts. Winning artists receive a $10,000 grant from ArtPrize and our community partners, along with a guaranteed spot in an ArtPrize venue for 2026. This year, ArtPrize will again partner with organizations in cities across the US.
