Tra Bouscaren is Candidate for Florida Prize in Contemporary Art

The Florida Prize in Contemporary Art is organized by the Orlando Museum of Art (OMA) to bring new recognition to the State’s most progressive artists. With the 2020 exhibition on hiatus due to the COVID-19 pandemic, 2021 will now be the seventh exhibition. Each year OMA surveys artists working throughout the State before inviting ten to participate, with one to receive a $20,000 monetary award. One of those ten is FSU Art Assistant Professor Tra Bouscaren. Artists range from emerging to mid-career, often with distinguished records of exhibitions and awards that reflect recognition at national and international levels. In all cases they are artists who are engaged in exploring significant ideas of art and culture in original and visually exciting ways. The Florida Prize in Contemporary Art and accompanying catalogue underscore OMA’s commitment to the art of our time, and to supporting artists who live and work in our State
