The Emily Hall Tremaine Exhibition AwardThe Tremaine CollectionThe Tremaine art collection was widely considered to be one of the finest reflections of contemporary art before it was sold to create the asset base for the Emily Hall Tremaine Foundation. It stood as a visual testament to the refined and courageous taste of its collectors, Burton and Emily Hall Tremaine. Emily Hall Tremaine's artistic vision helped her to collect works from artists who at the time were just starting to define contemporary art. Together, the Tremaines selected works that would be seminal for successive generations of artists and art collectors. In the words of Robert Rosenblum, the collection in its entirety invoked "new constellations of meaning and importance." It broke with tradition and convention yet conveyed a sense of spirituality and contemplation. Its complexity offered many layers of meaning and insight to the viewer. Purpose and Goal of the AwardThe Exhibition Award was created in 1998 to honor the talent and artistic vision of Emily Hall Tremaine, the founder of the Emily Hall Tremaine Foundation. Her passion for art and particularly her support of living artists, inspired, challenged and brought joy to those around her. Through the award, the Foundation seeks to give life to thematic exhibitions of contemporary art that are fresh and experimental in nature and for which funding is not yet forthcoming. Applications are accepted on a biennial basis from any curator, or curatorial team comprised of curators and/ or artists, applying in partnership with a non-profit exhibition space, whether a traditional gallery or museum, or an alternative non-profit venue. Applicants are encouraged to think expansively and challenge conventional thought through the exploration of critical ideas in the context of contemporary art. The award is intended to provide support for exhibitions at the beginning stage of their development and to offer the curator the support needed to fully explore a concept and realize an exhibition. Guidlines and TimelineApplications are accepted on a biennial basis from any curator applying in partnership with an established non-profit exhibition space. The curator can be on staff at the partnering exhibition space or a guest/independent curator working with the partnering space for this exhibit. The proposal should be for a strong, thematic exhibition that puts the works of contemporary art and/or architecture in a new or unconventional aesthetic, historical, cultural, and/or social framework.

September 2012 Announcement of the 2012 Emily Hall Tremaine Exhibition Award recipients. Given that the Exhibition Award is designed to support the curator’s research and development process as well as the exhibition, the exhibition must open no sooner than one year (September 2013) and no later than three years (September 2015) after the award is granted. DefinitionsCurator: An individual who devotes at least 50% of his/her professional life to creating, organizing or analyzing contemporary art exhibitions Curatorial Team: A curatorial group comprised of at least one curator (according to definition above) and additional curators and/ or artists Established non-profit exhibition space: Exhibition space with non-profit status that has been in operation for at least five years and is respected in the art field whether a traditional gallery or museum, or an alternative non-profit venue Contemporary: 1950 to the present Art: All forms of visual art and architecture with no media restrictions Living Artist Stipend for Existing WorkIn honor of Emily Hall Tremaine’s dedication to supporting living artists, the EHTEA requires all applicants to include a line item in the budget that provides for a $1000 stipend to each living artist for the inclusion of an existing work in the exhibition. The Living Artist Stipend for Existing Work is in addition to the Total Award Amount Requested for the exhibition. The Total Amount Requested must be between $50,000 and $150,000 and the Living Artist Stipend would be funds received from EHTF in addition to the award. Each Exhibition Award recipient may request Living Artist Stipends for up to 25 artists or artist collaborative for a maximum total of $25,000. There is a limit to one stipend per artist or artist collaborative. While an artist or collaborative may have multiple existing pieces in the exhibition, they may only receive one stipend. As the exhibition will be in the early stages of conception, it is expected that this will be an estimation at the time of application and the actual number of artists and stipends will not be finalized until a final exhibition checklist is completed. Please note, for curators commissioning new work for an exhibition, honorariums for the artists creating new work should be incorporated into the Total Award Amount Requests and reflected in the Project Budget under Exhibition Honoraria/ Fees. Review Criteria for the JuryFor each award cycle, three internationally acclaimed contemporary art curators are selected to serve as jury panelists to review the applications. The criteria that the jury panel will use to determine the award recipients include: · Intellectual quality of the proposal's premise Re-Applying CriteriaCurators and institutions may submit only one application in each award year. Once a curator receives the award they must wait four years before they can reapply for the award. The partner exhibiting institution is exempt from this restriction. Even after receiving an Exhibition Award, the exhibiting institution may serve as a partner on applications in consecutive cycles. Questions? Please visit the Frequetly Asked Questions page.
