Last weekend, the Prospect team visited St. Louis to join the closing ceremony for the second edition of Counterpublic.

Last month, Prospect headed to Atlanta to celebrate the exceptional talent of Prospect.6 Co-Artistic Director Ebony G. Patterson as she received the prestigious Driskell Prize at the High Museum of Art. 

Since its establishment in 2005, the Driskell Prize has become a symbol of the High Museum's unwavering commitment to fostering innovation in the arts and advancing research on African American artists and scholars.
