The philanthropic group ArtVenture is establishing an annual award, the Freedom to Create Prize, for three categories of artists whose work promotes human rights. The winner of the main prize, open to artists in the visual, performing or literary arts, will receive $50,000, half to be donated to a group that furthers the artist’s cause. A $25,000 prize will be given to an artist younger than 18, with $10,000 for a scholarship and $15,000 to be donated to a cause. A final $25,000 will be awarded to an artist who is imprisoned for his or her work. The deadline for entries is Oct. 31, and the winners are to be announced on Dec. 1.
