Founded by Patricia Pratchett and Bettie Ward to address a void in the San Antonio arts community —the lack of monetary awards to individual artists, the prizes are made possible through the private fundraising efforts of the Artist Foundation. This is the foundation’s third round of cash prizes to assist individual artists.
