Description
The Marilyn Newmark Memorial Grant is a $5,000 prize administered by the National Sculpture Society for a sculptor specializing in animal sculpture. It recognizes outstanding artistic ability and a demonstrated commitment to sculpting, with the emphasis on an established, mature body of work rather than a proposed new project.
Sculpture in any medium is considered, and a jury of three prominent sculptors evaluates the work. Sculpture created in workshop or instructional settings should not be submitted. The grant is part of the Society’s annual awards for sculptors and has recognized animal sculptors since 2014.
