Gyorgy Kepes Fellowship Prize

The Gyorgy Kepes Fellowship Prize was established in 1982 by the Council for the Arts at MIT to encourage and celebrate individuals at the Institute whose creative work reflects the vision and values of Gyorgy Kepes (1906-2002). Founder of MIT's Center for Advanced Visual Studies, Gyorgy Kepes revealed fundamental relations between art and science, and art and the physical environment. The Kepes Fellowship Prize is presented annually to a member of the MIT community who has demonstrated excellence in the creative arts: architecture, visual and performing arts, and writing.
