Valerie Roybal Award
The Valerie Roybal Award recognizes an emerging artist based in New Mexico who – with Valerie’s spirit of curiosity and courage – channels identity, circumstance, and experience into creative practice, generating work that considers transfiguration, metamorphosis, or transmutation. 
Promptly, this year’s awardee created a body of work that confronts the “depths of feelings that arise from traversing the world where one is expected to quiet themselves and take up less space. This project screams back at all of those notions.” This year’s Valerie Roybal Award Winner is Jade Norris.
