Collectors & Curators Breakfast

Join the IFPDA for light refreshments (sponsored by Museum Exchange) and a private viewing of the fair as we honored this year's recipients of the Richard Hamilton Acquisition Prize (sponsored by Champion & Partners) and the IFPDA Book Award. 

Through the generosity of ChampionScott Partners, the  Richard Hamilton Acquisition Prize provides $10,000 for a Museum’s acquisition of one or more prints from any period at the IFPDA Fine Art  Print Fair. In naming the prize, ChampionScott Partners has chosen to honor the late Richard Hamilton, as a tribute to the artist’s profound influence on their own appreciation of prints and to acknowledge his impact on generations of printmakers.

The IFPDA Book Award was founded in 2004 to highlight and promote published books, articles, or catalogues on fine prints. This annual award honors excellence in research, scholarship, and the discussion of new ideas in the field of fine prints. The award provides one outstanding recipient and publication with a prize of $3,000, and represents another milestone for the organization. As a result, the winner will receive acclaim from one of the most recognizable bodies in the print world.

Founded in 2020, Museum Exchange is the first digital platform for art donations, enabling collectors to donate works of art to institutions across North America. The end-to-end platform provides collectors unprecedented choice, impact, and ease in their philanthropic giving, while allowing institutions to expand and diversify their donor base and collections. The company's mission is to unlock philanthropy nationwide, simplify the donation process, and help bring under-recognized artists to the public's attention.
