Since 2020, the Brooklyn Museum has recognized the work of emerging Brooklyn-based artists with the UOVO Prize. Awarded annually, the prize includes a solo exhibition at the Museum, a fifty-by-fifty-foot public art installation on the facade of UOVO’s facility in Bushwick, and a $25,000 unrestricted cash grant.

“The UOVO Prize enabled people to see me, but it gave me space to see me, too. It gave me the support I needed to witness my creative abilities. And that is incommensurable.”
—Baseera Khan

The fourth annual UOVO Prize was awarded to Suneil Sanzgiri, an artist, researcher, and filmmaker. Previous UOVO Prize winners are John Edmonds, Baseera Khan, and Oscar yi Hou.
