Jason Moran
Pianist, composer and performance artist Jason Moran has been awarded the 2026 Gordon Parks Foundation Fellowship in Music.
The newly established Fellowship in Music is an annual grant to a musician, composer, sound–based artist or music scholar, and pays tribute to the significance of music to Gordon Parks’s own career. Honoring the Parks’s legacy two decades on, a year-long program of exhibitions, publications and events has been announced, alongside its 2026 fellows, legacy acquisition recipients, and the inaugural Fellowship in Music.
Since 2017, the Foundation has awarded annual fellowships to artists working across a range of fields and mediums, supporting new or ongoing projects that explore themes of representation and social justice. Fellows participate in Foundation initiatives throughout the year, culminating in a solo exhibition at The Gordon Parks Foundation Gallery in Pleasantville, New York. The Foundation also acquires work by the art fellows for its permanent collection.
