The feminist art nonprofit art organization Through the Flower and the Penn State School of Visual Arts invite applications for the annual award that honors Judy Chicago, one of the Feminist Art Movement’s key founders. Educators who have developed projects related to “The Dinner Party” Curriculum Project or other materials in Penn State’s Judy Chicago Art Education Collection may submit an application for the award by February 1, 2017.

The annual Judy Chicago Art Education Award, supported by the author, Faye Kellerman, consists of a check for $1,000 and a Judy Chicago and Through the Flower certificate and is administered by the Penn State School of Visual Arts.

The application for the award is open to all teachers whose project with students uses the online or onsite Judy Chicago Art Education Collection, which has been archived in Penn State’s University Libraries since 2011, with preference given to those projects that most embody feminist goals.

Details about the submission process are available at http://judychicago.arted.psu.edu/news-events/news/award/. For questions or more information about the award, contact Karen Keifer-Boyd at kk-b@psu.edu.
