the jacki apple award in performance and artist projects

Franklin Furnace is honored to present the inaugural Jacki Apple Award in Performance and Artist Projects, celebrating the enduring impact of Jacki Apple on the New York art scene.

This award will be an annual award given over the next ten years and reflects Jacki Apple’s commitment to championing artists, demonstrated through her multidisciplinary career as a writer, educator, radio host, and artist since the early 1980s.

The Jacki Apple Fund is a tribute to Jacki's lifelong dedication to NY & LA’s avant-garde art communities. Franklin Furnace and sister organization Los Angeles Contemporary Exhibitions will each distribute one $10,000 award per year for a total of 20 awards over the coming decade.
