MOCA announced today the Eric and Wendy Schmidt Environment and Art Prize, a juried award that will support and celebrate artists whose practices address critical intersections in art, architecture, design, climate, conservation, sustainability, and environmental justice. Funded through the generosity of philanthropists Eric and Wendy Schmidt, the Prize will be awarded by MOCA to an artist every two years from 2024 until 2030. The Prize awards a $100,000 unrestricted honorarium as well as resources and institutional support to complete a new project. https://lnkd.in/gghpmGMT

About us
Established in 1979, we are the only artist-founded museum in Los Angeles. We are dedicated to collecting and exhibiting contemporary art. We house one of the most compelling collections of contemporary art in the world, comprising roughly 7500 objects, and have a diverse history of ground-breaking, historically-significant exhibitions. We are committed to the collection, presentation, and interpretation of art created after 1940, in all media, and to preserving that work for future generations. We provide leadership in the field by identifying and presenting the most significant and challenging art of our time, actively supporting the creation of new work, and producing original scholarship. With two distinct venues in Los Angeles—MOCA Grand Avenue, and The Geffen Contemporary at MOCA—and Michael Heizer’s seminal artwork Double Negative (1969-70) in the Nevada desert, we engage audiences through an ambitious program of exhibitions, educational programs, and publishing.
