The 2023 James and Audrey Foster Prize (ICA Boston)

Gallery with circular white drawing on wall and red stringed installation hanging from ceiling

The 2023 James and Audrey Foster Prize presents the work of Cicely Carew (b. in Los Angeles), Venetia Dale (b. in Winfield, IL), and Yu-Wen Wu (b. in Taipei, Taiwan). Encompassing a wide range of media, from sculpture and installation to time-based media and works on paper, the exhibited projects demonstrate how these Boston-area artists each uniquely engage with the theme of states of change, whether through personal experiences, the passage of time, or in the very nature of materials undergoing transformation in the making of an artwork. First established in 1999, James and Audrey Foster endowed the prize (formerly the ICA Artist Prize) and exhibition to nurture and recognize exceptional Boston-area artists.

This exhibit will be open from August 24, 2023 – January 28, 2024. For more information about the installations and the artists, visit https://www.icaboston.org/exhibitions/2023-james-and-audrey-foster-prize/. Admission to the ICA is free for Boston University students with a valid student ID.
