Four early-career artists making an impact in Greater Boston and beyond

These artists, while presenting vastly different views of the world around us in a variety of media, all share a confident artistic approach—a sign of breakthroughs to come. The James and Audrey Foster Prize is a biennial award of $25,000 given to a Boston artist who demonstrates exceptional promise.  Selected from several dozen nominated artists by a distinguished jury who will also decide the winner, the finalists present their work in a new ICA exhibition. The winner of the prize will be announced in early 2009.
