1. WBUR highlighted Sarah Sze (MFA 1997 Fine Arts) being named the inaugural recipient of the Meraki Artist Award, a $100,000 prize, designed to recognize and celebrate women artists. “It’s a huge honor to be the first recipient of the Meraki Artist Award and I’m inspired by the dedication to love, care, and art that the award stands for,” said Sze. The award will be followed by an exhibition at the Institute of Contemporary Art/Boston next year, featuring Sze’s work alongside other female artists.
