2025 Doris Duke Artist Award Recipients
Established in 2012, the awards provide an unrestricted cash prize and professional support to help create the conditions for individual artists to thrive. Recipients also receive resources such as financial planning, career development, and performing and networking opportunities. In 2023, the foundation doubled the award amount to underscore the value of sustained support for performing artists.
