Ordway Prize Winners Announced

Today Creative Link for the Arts and the New Museum announced the winners of the Ordway Prize. Named for naturalist, philanthropist, and arts patron Katherine Ordway, the award bestows $100,000 in cash upon both a curator/art writer and an artist “whose work has had significant impact on the field of contemporary art, but who has yet to receive broad public recognition.” This year’s winners are Hamza Walker, the director of education and associate curator at Chicago’s Renaissance Society, and Polish artist Artur Żmijewski.
