The unexpected 2014 death of the beloved Gilda Snowden, a 2010 Kresge Fellow in the Visual Arts, prompted the Kresge Foundation to institute the Gilda Awards for Emerging Artists in 2015.
The Gilda Awards are not limited to the Visual Arts category. Each year, the Gilda Awards are given in the same two categories as the fellowships that year. Artists who apply for a fellowship may opt to also be considered for a Gilda Award.
The award comes with a $5,000 prize and some of the same opportunities as a fellowship. A recipient of a Gilda Award becomes forever ineligible for another Gilda Award, but may apply for a fellowship the very next year (so far, at least one Gilda Award recipient has won a fellowship in a later year), and is, at least in theory, eligible for an Eminent Artist award.
