Curtis Ames is a visual artist who lives and works in Atlanta, according to his website. His work has been shown in Berlin, Miami and at Atlanta's High Museum of Art.
As the 2018-19 award winner, Ames will receive $10,000. His work will also be featured in spring 2019 at the Swan Coach House Gallery.
