ArtPrize is partnering with 21c Museum Hotels for Pitch Night, an evening where a panel of judges will chose a winner, who receives a $5,000 grant to realize their proposal at Lyon Square during ArtPrize 2015.

Five artists will be selected to give a five-minute presentation using five slides each. A panel of five experts and the audience will be able to ask questions of the artists following the presentations.

The judges for Pitch Night Durham are:

• Alice Gray Stites, 21c Museum Hotels – VP, Museum Director
• Linda Dougherty, North Carolina Museum of Art – Chief Curator & Curator of Contemporary Art
• Gab Smith, CAM Raleigh – Executive Director
• Xandra Eden, Weatherspoon Art Museum – Curator of Exhibitions
• Marshall Price, Nasher Museum of Art at Duke University – Nancy Hanks Curator of Modern and Contemporary Art
