The Nancy Graves Foundation has announced the recipients of the 2023 Nancy Graves Grant for Visual Artists. This year’s grantees include Gina Osterloh, associate professor in the Department of Art and an affiliate faculty member of the Center for Ethnic Studies. Initially nominated by artists and arts professionals from across the country, a second panel of jurors selected four grantees to receive unrestricted funds to work in a technique, medium or discipline that is different from the one for which they are primarily recognized.

Established through a provision of the artist’s Last Will and Testament, the Foundation has supported the work and artistic development of individual artists since 2001. This year’s other grantees include Lily Cox-Richard, Maya Freelon and Ja’Tovia Gary. Initially nominated by artists and arts professionals from across the country, a second panel of jurors selected four grantees to receive unrestricted funds to work in a technique, medium or discipline that is different from the one for which they are primarily recognized.

Each artist will receive an award of $12,500.
