The J. Irwin and Xenia S. Miller Prize is an art and design award administered by Exhibit Columbus of the Landmark Columbus Foundation in Columbus, Indiana. The prize commissions four to five architecture and design teams each cycle to create temporary, site-specific public installations paired with significant civic sites and local partners. Established in 2016 and named for philanthropists J. Irwin and Xenia S. Miller, the prize foregrounds community engagement, design research, and the city's modernist legacy. [1]
As of 2025, twenty-three teams have received the Miller Prize across five cycles (2017, 2019, 2021, 2023, 2025). [1]
Each cycle's curatorial partners select four or five recipients and pair them with a civic site and local organization. Teams develop and fabricate full-scale installations, which are exhibited alongside university fellows’ projects and community initiatives during the Exhibit Columbus exhibition season. [2]
