After receiving over 600 submissions, we are happy to announce the selected artist recipients for our artist care fund. Each artist was evaluated and selected based on current circumstances, type of need, and excellence in artistic calling. Our limited funding for this one-time event only allowed us to support 21 artists totaling $8,700 in grants.
Our mission at Art House Dallas is to encourage creativity for the common good and nurture people looking to explore an artful, faithful life. The Artist Care Fund is a one-time fund that was created as a response to the impact of COVID-19 on the artist community and in tandem with the book release of Art House Dallas member and author, Sandra Fernandez Rhoads and her novel, Mortal Sight. While the fund is helpful, it is not the only resource we are offering throughout this time. Please visit our Artist Resource page for a compiled list of additional resources that may provide support and additional financial assistance.
