Almine Rech congratulates John McAllister for receiving the 2026 Dallas Art Prize

Presented by the Dallas Art Fair, the Dallas Art Prize is a new annual award recognizing an artist whose work makes a significant contribution to the cultural and intellectual landscape of contemporary art. Each spring, the unrestricted $20,000 prize supports a past Dallas Art Fair participant whose practice reflects both artistic maturity and the promise of lasting influence.

The 2026 recipient, John McAllister (born 1973, Louisiana), lives and works in Florence, Massachusetts. His work has been exhibited internationally and held in major museum collections, including the Hammer Museum, Los Angeles, and the Rubell Family Collection, Miami.
