Seattle Art Museum

The Seattle Art Museum and the Betty Bowen Committee, chaired by Gary Glant, announced that Portland-based artist Samantha Yun Wall is the winner of the 2024 Betty Bowen Award. The juried award comes with an unrestricted cash award of $20,000 and a solo exhibition at SAM. Founded in 1977 to continue the legacy of arts advocate and supporter Betty Bowen (1918–1977), the annual award honors a Northwest artist for their original, exceptional, and compelling work. Wall was born in Seoul, and creates drawings that reflect her experience of navigating transcultural identity as a Black Korean immigrant. Her work has been exhibited throughout Washington and Oregon.
