Thelma Golden Wins $250,000 Prize
The Studio Museum of Harlem’s Thelma Golden (director and chief curator) has won the Dorothy and Lillian Gish Prize worth $250,000. The prize is awarded for Golden’s significant contribution to the arts.
Golden has led the Studio Museum since 2005 and presiding over the growth of the physically space into a new building - built on W. 125th Street.
Prior to joining the Studio Museum, she had worked as a curator at the Whitney Museum.
After receiving the award, Golden said:
“As a curator and museum director who has been privileged to work for and on behalf of artists for my entire career, I am humbled to receive this prize that was created by an artist and has been given to so many creative leaders I greatly admire. Working in service of artists in general, and very specifically Black artists, has allowed me to engage broadly in the world. I gratefully accept the Gish Prize and wholly acknowledge what an honor it has been to be able to provide space, alongside the many institutional colleagues, Board members, and supporters who are equally committed to advancing the work these artists do.”
Among the prize’s past winners are filmmakers Spike Lee and Ava DuVernay, architect Maya Lin, choreographer and dancer Bill T. Jones, and writer Chinua Achebe.
