The Herb Alpert Foundation and California Institute of the Arts (CalArts) have awarded the Alpert Award in the Arts to five mid-career artists who take risks and make challenging, exceptional work in their fields. The five Award categories reflect the major fields of investigation at CalArts. The award is a prize based upon the recognition of both past performance and future promise. Since 1994 the judges of the annual Alpert Awards have identified artists who make 'something that matters' and exhibit a capacity to explore and push their limits. In the words of choreographer Victoria Marks, a past winner, 'The Alpert allowed me to not have to know where I was going, to stumble blindly until I found my way.'
