My official grantee notification “badge” by The Pollination Project

After many labors — including years of attempting to secure individual artist grants in the state in which I live, and many voices (including my own!) telling me there is no money available for arts empowering marginal populations — I have been able to secure a seed grant from The Pollination Project.  This generous grant will make possible an art exhibition of works by the homeless, formerly homeless, and victims of domestic violence to whom I have been devoting many volunteer hours since November of 2013, scheduled for July  2014 at the Southwestern Indiana Arts Council gallery in downtown Evansville.
