Honoring the sacred places they were forced to leave behind

Ellsworth Kelly Award SITE Santa Fe-Dakota Mace Exhibition
Interdisciplinary artist Dakota Mace was named this year’s winner of the Ellsworth Kelly Award, which is administered by the New York–based Foundation for Contemporary Arts. The annual grant comes with a $45,000 purse in support of a solo exhibition. Based in Madison, Wisconsin, Mace plans to use the funds to create 2,000 newly commissioned chemigrams—a painting or drawing made on light-sensitive paper—using natural cochineal dye, as well as archival photography prints. She will install them at SITE Santa Fe, as part of a solo exhibition slated to open in March 2025.
