IDEA CAPITAL AWARDS $18,000 TO ATLANTA ARTISTS
Atlanta’s Idea Capital group, which pools resources from the cultural sector in order to provide direct monetary support to Atlanta artists, announced the recipients of its tenth year of independent arts funding on Thursday. A total of $18,000 will be distributed to nine artists working in a variety of fields.
From documentary filmmakers and theater producers to puppet show masters, this year’s awardees were recognized for creating “innovative, risk-taking works unlikely to be funded by more traditional revenue streams” and were selected from a pool of over eighty Atlanta-based artists.
The recipients are filmmaker Ebony Blanding, film producer and filmmaker Phoebe Brown, photographer Jarrett Christian, Ben Coleman, Elizabeth Dinkova, Anthony Gaskins, Jason Kofke, mixed-media artist Yanique Norman, and director Cydnei Prather.https://www.artforum.com/news/idea-capital-awards-18-000-to-atlanta-artists-78263
