Author Description

"The Burke Prize reinforces the Museum of Arts and Design's committment to celebrating the next generation of artists working in and advancing the disciplines that shaped the American studio craft movement. Named for Marian and Russel Burke, two passionate collecters of craft and longtime supporters of MAD, the prize is an unrestricted award of $50,000 given to a professional artist age forty-five or under working in glass, fiber, clay, metal, and/or wood. The winner was selected by a jury of professionals in the fields of art, craft, and design. The prize is accompanied by Burke Prize 2019, an exhibition of the winner and fifteen finalists."--Text
