Empowered Artist Award
Adios Red-Head by Sydney Cash
2024 Deadline: Thursday, November 21, 2024 at 11:59 PM
In honor of the incredible impact Linda Marston-Reid (former executive director of Arts Mid-Hudson) has made on artists in Dutchess, Orange, and Ulster Counties, Arts Mid-Hudson has created an annual fund to provide unrestricted monetary awards to three artists.
One of the most critical needs for artists is access to unrestricted funds so they may continue their practice, elevate their careers, and be more visible within their community. These funds will enable artists to create work, purchase new equipment, access educational opportunities, and pay their bills. Artists play a crucial role in our communities, creating culture, reflecting community values, and inspiring young people to engage in the arts. We envision a program that supports artists and allows them to continue their work across our region.
Key Information
This award will provide unrestricted funding in the amount of $3,000 each to artists in Dutchess, Orange, and Ulster Counties.
