Yu-Wen Wu, a Taiwan-born, Boston-based artist, has been named the winner of the inaugural $15,000 Prilla Smith Brackett Award, administered by the Davis Museum Wellesley College. The biennial prize aims to honor outstanding female-identified visual artists based in the Greater Boston area.<\/p>\n

\u201cWu\u2019s artwork tells powerful stories of human migration, of losses and gains, through a trans-medial practice that ranges from drawing, to community-based installation, to video,\u201d Davis Museum Director Lisa Fischman said in a prepared statement. \u201cProjects such as \u2018Leavings\/Belongings\u2019 are especially important now as immigration continues to be one of today\u2019s most pressing political, social, and economic topics.\u201d<\/p>\n

The award can be used for travel, research, project development, or any other expenses related to career advancement. Yu-Wen Wu\u2019s art will also be featured in an online exhibition at the Davis Museum website.<\/p>\n

\u201cI\u2019ve felt strongly for a long time of how hard it is for artists\u2014and women artists in particular,\u201d Brackett, who funded the prize, told me in March<\/a>. \u201cI hope that whoever gets it can use it for anything they think will be beneficial for their career. \u2026 Whatever it is that can move them along.\u201d<\/p>\n
