On behalf of Brattleboro Museum & Art Center, Burlington City Arts, The Current, and Hall Art Foundation, we are delighted to congratulate Sarah Amos of Enosburg Falls on being selected as the winner of the 2024 Vermont Prize!

The Vermont Prize celebrates and supports the best visual art being made in Vermont today.

The jurors from each of our organizations, together with this year’s Special Guest Juror, Phong H. Bui, artist, curator, and co-founder and publisher of The Brooklyn Rail, have selected Amos amongst hundreds of applicants from all corners of Vermont.

Describing Amos’s work, Bui said, “I find that her pictorial strength, infused with the inventive application of material, evokes a wonderful synthesis of form and matter. Her abstractions deploy post-Cubist collage with originality of thought and materiality. Each work asserts its monumentality while maintaining a sense of intimacy, and calls forth particular places or experiences, while suggesting deep symbolic significance of sensation and memory.”

In addition to being named the 2024 Vermont Prize recipient, Amos is being awarded a monetary prize of $5,000, and her work will be showcased and archived on vermontprize.org and social media.
