UETF Artist Resiliency Residency Awardees
January 2022 - June 2023
The groundbreaking Resiliency Residency of the Urban Enhancement Trust Fund Program has concluded the first two phases of the program: the selection of the partner arts organizations, who will serve as the fiscal sponsors (and more) for the artists, and the artists selection process. The completion of these two phases sets the stage for funding to begin flowing to artists in early to mid-February 2022 and for an incredible amount of creative work to begin happening in partnership around the city in many artistic disciplines.
The call for the arts organizations was developed by the UETF Committee and staff. The selection of the partner arts organizations was done by a sub-committee of participating UETF Committee members and approved by the full board. The selection of the artists was done by an expanded sub-committee comprised of representatives of the selected art org partners and a few of the participating UETF Committee board members. Staff managed both calls and tracking the scores.
This newly implemented program has already strengthened partnerships with five local arts organizations and will spill over to the first group of individual artists, the majority of which are freelance, independent sole-proprietors. The enthusiasm of the five partner arts organizations has grown and evolved significantly over the past 3-4 months during the call for artists and review of application phases.
The following list of artists have been awarded a UETF Resiliency Residency award of $2,500.
