2025 Hohenberg Travel Award: Leon Toro (MFA 2025)
“I centered my travels on the principle of light—studying how artists across regions and centuries approached presence, color, and atmosphere. Beginning in Northwestern Europe and moving south, I allowed light to remain my lens, even as I encountered unfamiliar artists, materials, and forms.”

2025 Peter Rippon/Royal Academy of Art Travel Award: Amelia Wykes (MFA 2025)
“This trip came at an important transitional moment for me, as I have been navigating what it means to sustain a studio practice outside of school. That process has been challenging and has made me reflect a lot about what I want moving forward as an artist, so this experience of traveling and spending extended time looking, served as a valuable guide.”
