The Greenfield Prize at the Hermitage Artist Retreat is a groundbreaking partnership between the Philadelphia-based Greenfield Foundation and the Hermitage Artist Retreat. Pursuing the mission "to bring into the world works of art that will have a significant impact on the broader or artistic culture," the prize seeks to identify individuals whose past work and future prospects position them to achieve this lofty and ambitious goal. The prize is awarded annually, and rotates each year among three areas; drama, music, and a "wild card." In the "wild card" years, the prize may be awarded in any field or combination of fields, or themes in an effort to accommodate new forms, fields, technologies, and the blending of traditional disciplines.
THE 2010 GREENFIELD PRIZE WINNER

Praised by the selection jury for the breadth of his vision and range of his work, we are all anxious to see just what will come out of this commission. The commission is due in the spring of 2012, until then we will be hosting his residencies at The Hermitage Artist Retreat, Inc and doing our best to support him in the creation of this piece.
