2024 Next Step Fund Grant {recipient}
With support of the McKnight Foundation and the Metropolitan Regional Arts Council, I’m pleased to announce I am FY24 Next Step Fund grant recipient. The Next Step Fund provides project grants up to $5,000 to artists in any arts discipline. My application was one of 36 selected from pool of 370 artists. With the funding, I will acquire digital printing supplies and photography framing equipment to bring in-house production, plus digital projector and speaker to support traveling storytelling shows.
