Application Overview
Art has been a component of exploration throughout history as artist-explorers documented data and discoveries during expeditions. The Explorers Club endeavors to honor that tradition through this program, which is generously underwritten by Rolex Watch USA.
Awardees will receive a grant of up to $25,000.00 for use during a 12-month period from receipt of award to create a new artwork or build on an existing body of work that embodies the mission of The Explorers Club to “Explore, Discover, Preserve, Sustain, and Share.” The work of art must be completed and presented to The Explorers Club within the same one-year time frame. The specified artwork (in appropriate form or facsimile thereof) will become part of The Explorers Club permanent collection. Applicants need not be active members of The Explorers Club but are encouraged to become a Student Member, Associate Member, or if qualified, a Member or Fellow.
Upon completion of the artwork, The Explorers Club reserves the rights to exhibit it if and when appropriate at The Explorers Club Headquarters in New York City, to reproduce the artwork, post it on the Club’s website, publish it in The Explorers Club Journal and The Explorers Club Log, and/or use it during educational and fundraising activities. Rolex may also use the artwork in their promotional materials.
