Shikeith named a recipient of the VMFA Aaron Siskind Award for Photography

Yossi Milo is delighted to announce that Shikeith has been named one of two inaugural recipients of the VMFA Aaron Siskind Award for Photography, a new award from the Virginia Museum of Fine Arts that supports contemporary photographic practice with an unrestricted $25,000 prize.
 
Two artists were selected from a pool of more than 800 applicants. The goal of the award is to provide material support that enables photographers to complete a meaningful body of work — whether the continuation or finalization of a photographic series, the development of an exhibition, monograph or book project, or another major creative endeavor.
 
Museum Director and CEO Alex Nyerges says, “Supporting artists is a core part of our mission, and the Virginia Museum of Fine Arts is proud to support the practice of photography as an important means of creative expression."
