Since 2012, the Doris Duke Foundation has advanced its mission to build a more creative, equitable, and sustainable future by awarding more than $40 million to leading contemporary dance, jazz, and theater artists through the Doris Duke Artists Awards. As the largest prize of its kind in the United States, the awards uniquely recognize artists as both individuals and creative workers.

In collaboration with Abbott Miller and his team at Pentagram, who designed the awards’ visual identity, we created the website for the 2025 Doris Duke Artist Awards campaign.

This year’s Doris Duke Artist Awards honorees are Trajal Harrell, Raja Feather Kelly, Aya Ogawa, Kassa Overall, Kaneza Schaal, and Brandee Younger, each of whom has a dedicated detail page on the site.

Each artist received $525,000 in unrestricted funds allocated over seven years and an incentive of up to $25,000 to save for retirement. Including the 2025 recipients, the foundation has supported nearly 150 artists through the Doris Duke Artist Awards program to date.

The Doris Duke Artist Awards is an initiative within Creative Labor, Creative Conditions, one of the Doris Duke Foundation’s core focus areas. The website includes a dedicated page that articulates the Foundation’s belief that society thrives when artists have the resources, fair compensation, and support they need to live and work. It also invites users to explore related events, news, and insights from both the foundation and other relevant sources.
