The Mathematical Art Exhibition Award recognizes "aesthetically pleasing works that combine mathematics and art." In 2008, an anonymous donor provided an endowment to acknowledge those whose works demonstrate the beauty and elegance of mathematics expressed in a visual art form.
Award Details
The exhibition takes place every January at the Joint Mathematics Meetings. First (US$500), second (US$300), and third place (US$200) awards are made annually.
