Awarded yearly to a graduate student at the University of Texas at Austin (where Umlauf served as a professor for 40 years), the prize comes with an exhibition in the organization's indoor gallery, as well as a chance for the selected artist to install works throughout the nonprofit's lush garden space. 

These are great paintings and sculptures, and taken together add up to a powerhouse of a retrospective.
