"I am pleased to select Bianca Loera as the recipient of 2025 George Award. Loera’s work displayed a thoroughness from its construction to execution — each square inch of Brush It Out was meticulously considered (including sections less visible to the viewer) and that consideration extended to the work’s installation in the exhibition space."

"(New York, NY--April 15, 2025) -- The Board of Trustees of the John Simon Guggenheim
Memorial Foundation announced today their appointment of the 100th class of Guggenheim
Fellows, including 198 distinguished individuals working across 53 disciplines. Chosen
through a rigorous application and peer review process from a pool of nearly 3,500
applicants, the Class of 2025 Guggenheim Fellows was tapped based on both prior career
achievement and exceptional promise. As established in 1925 by founder Senator Simon
Guggenheim, each Fellow receives a monetary stipend to pursue independent work at
the highest level under “the freest possible conditions.
The 100th class of Fellows is part of the Guggenheim Foundation’s yearlong celebration marking a century of transformative impact on American intellectual and cultural life. In addition to appointing its newest class, the Foundation also launches a refreshed brand identity and website this month and will present a special exhibit later this year in collaboration with The New York Historical, highlighting rarely-seen treasures from its vast archive."
