Anonymous Was A Woman is an unrestricted grant of $25,000
that enables women artists, over 45 years of age and at a critical
juncture in their lives or careers, to continue to grow and pursue their
work. The Award is given in recognition of an artist's accomplishments,
artistic growth and the quality of her work. It is not need-based.
The name of the grant program, Anonymous Was A Woman, refers to a line in Virginia Wolf’s A Room of One’s Own. As the name implies, nominators and those associated with the program are unnamed. The award was begun in 1996 in response to the decision of the National Endowment of the Arts to cease support of individual artists.

And an extra congrats to the DMV's own Jae Ko, who is represented locally by the Marsha Mateyka Gallery.
