Meet Sarah Shin - Our 2025 Pfaelzer Award Recipient! The Pfaelzer Award was created in honor of Johanna Pfaelzer’s twenty-year commitment to nurturing artists and their developing stories at SAF. Selected by a panel of former recipients, the Pfaelzer Award winner receives a monetary award, is invited to be in residence as a part of the SAF Summer Season to observe, incubate, or work on a project of their choosing, and has the opportunity for project mentorship from Johanna Pfaelzer. #nysafsummerseason #poughkeepsie @Marist University
