Adolph Grant Award Show 2025/26
December 8, 2025 - January 10, 2026
This show is named after Adolph Grant, who was a patron of the NRAA and was very much active in civic affairs as Chairman of the Zoning Commission. At the first Sketch Exhibition in 1921, an artist was awarded a $50 prize for the Best Sketch. By the year 1932, the award was given for “Best Work by a New Rochelle Resident” and has continued to the present day. Today, the award is $100.
This year’s show will feature smaller work, no larger than 14” including frame.
