Princess Grace Awards

The Princess Grace Awards recognize and support extraordinary emerging artists in theater, dance, and film through game-changing grants. The Foundation identifies and nurtures early career artists who demonstrate the promise of extraordinary talent based on artistic intentionality, demonstration of technique in artistic practice, and potential for innovation or impact in their field. The awards support both creative generators (theater directors, designers, choreographers, film directors) and performance-based creatives (actors, dancers). The Foundation is dedicated to upholding the legacy of Her Serene Highness Princess Grace of Monaco (née Grace Kelly) and her commitment to advancing the arts in the United States. The Princess Grace Foundation believes that extraordinary talent is found across diverse groups of artists and is committed to identifying and supporting diversity in all its forms including gender, race, sexuality, accessibility, and geography. The award provides unrestricted funding that allows artists to support their creative development and career advancement.
