Grant Recipients 2013

The Art Students League began awarding major grants to students in 1930. The Edward G. McDowell Travel Grant, earmarked for travel in Europe by unmarried students, was the first and continued to be the only cash award until 1995, when the Phyllis H. Mason Grant—for “traditional” painters—was established. In 1998, the Nessa Cohen Grants were added, offering monies to printmakers and sculptors for special projects. The Xavier Gonzalez & Ethel Edwards Grants provide stipends to artists for travel in Spain and were first awarded in 2002. This year 366 students competed for nine grants. The following slideshow is a selection of winners’ submissions.
