The Kresge Foundation has announced 12 Detroit-area visual artists as recipients of the 2011 Kresge Artis Fellowship. Each artist will receive the unrestricted prize of $25,000 along with customized professional practice opportunities.
The fellowships reward creative vision and a commitment to excellence, and represent Kresge’s desire to advance the artistic careers of Detroit artists living and working in its hometown
, as well as elevate the profile of the city’s artistic community. Artists are selected from the Metropolitan Detroit tri-county area (Wayne, Oakland and Macomb). Detroit’s College for Creative Studies administers the fellowships; ArtServe Michigan offers the professional practice opportunities.
