The Parsons Prize for Military-Affiliated Artists is an award recognizing outstanding work by artists with military affiliations. Founded by the Center for Military-Affiliated Students and Parsons School of Design, the prize honors the depth, rigor, and vision that military-affiliated artists bring to contemporary art practices. With a $3,000 1st place award, and $1,000 2nd and 3rd place awards, juried by arts professionals, the prize affirms a commitment to supporting artists whose perspectives are shaped by service and transformation.
In the post-WWII era, The New School became a hub for veterans returning from service, significantly influencing the cultural and intellectual landscape of Greenwich Village. Notably, veterans such as Dan Wolf and Edwin Fancher, who attended The New School, went on to co-found The Village Voice, contributing to the area's vibrant media and arts scene. The Parsons Prize for Military-Affiliated Artists is part of The New School’s initiative to reaffirm its commitment to this population.
