Bare walls make our skin crawl!
We like to make them pretty with beautiful artwork done by amazingly talented people.
Now showing Women Artists Forward Fund 2026 entries
We’re so happy to once again host the Women Artists Forward Fund Art Prize Ceremony! Join us Thursday (11/5) for the announcements of this year’s finalists and winners! The Women Artists Forward Fund is an endowment fund held at Madison Community Foundation created for the sole purpose of recognizing, supporting, and encouraging talented women visual artists in Dane County, Wisconsin. The Fund supports two annual, unrestricted Forward Art Prizes of $10,000 each. The Prize seeks to strengthen recipients’ practice by providing financial resources, recognition, and community support to leverage their creative capital.
Come celebrate the work of the women artists who applied for this year’s Forward Art Prize at Giant Jones & meet some of these talented artists!
All of their work will be up on our walls through 11/28.
