CCS BARD AWARDS
Launched in 1998, The Audrey Irmas Award for Curatorial Excellence celebrates the achievements of a leading curator whose lasting contributions have shaped the way we conceive of exhibition-making today. The awardee is selected by an independent panel of leading contemporary art curators, museum directors, and artists. The award reflects CCS Bard’s commitment to recognizing individuals who have defined new thinking, bold vision, and dedicated practice to the field of exhibition practice.
In addition to the Audrey Irmas Award for Curatorial Excellence, in 2024 CCS Bard announced the inaugural CCS Bard Alumni Award recognizing an outstanding graduate for sustained innovation and engagement in exhibition making, public education, research, and a commitment to the field.
CCS Bard’s spring 2025 gala celebration and dinner will be on April 7, 2025 and will be held in New York City at The Lighthouse at Pier 61.
