"It makes me feel alive, recognized, accepted, part of the community. As an older woman, it makes me feel rich. My stories now have value. For me, this prize means that now, people are seeing and hearing what I have to share."
-Babette Wainwright, 2023 Forward Art Prize Recipient
"This is going to be such a welcoming and inspiring addition to Madison's art community. Seeing how enthusiastically people have responded to your efforts mean it's really needed. More homegrown support keeps the creative spirit alive!"
-Gail Simpson, Art + Service Learning Professor, UW-Madison
