VILCEK FOUNDATION – BLANKA ZIZKA

The Vilcek Foundation raises awareness of immigrant contributions in America and fosters appreciation of the arts and sciences.

The Vilcek Prizes are awarded annually to immigrants who have made lasting contributions to American society through their extraordinary achievements in biomedical research and the arts and humanities.

Blanka Zizka won the 2016 Vilcek Prize in Theater for leadership that established Philadelphia’s Wilma Theater as an institution of national significance, a singular artistic vision, and acclaimed direction of contemporary theater.
