Curators Award

The Curators Award sponsors exhibitions of California artists proposed by one or more California curator(s) to be held in major museums and other art venues by underwriting the cost of the exhibitions, scholarly catalogues and other documentation. Through this endeavor, FOCA has established an impressive historical record of the work of California artists and curators.
