The Chrysalis Award was created by the James Renwick Alliance for Craft to support and inspire emerging craft artists in the United States. Eligible applicants are those who are in the early stages of their professional artistic careers—regardless of age—and who have completed their training within the past five years. This includes academic programs such as a BFA or MFA, as well as self-directed or alternative forms of study. Artists who have already been curated into major institutional exhibitions (such as at the Renwick Gallery) are not eligible.  
​  
Ideal candidates demonstrate excellence in their work and a strong commitment to developing their practice in unique and dynamic ways.  
  
Each year, the award focuses on a different medium. This year’s award will recognize an emerging artist working in **ceramics**.

The recipient will receive a $5,000 unrestricted award, a one-year JRACraft membership, and the opportunity to present their work at a JRACraft event.
