Congrats to the FY13 Artist Fellowship Program award winners from the
DC Commission on the Arts and Humanities.
This year, the
DCCAH received 220 eligible applications for
arts funding. The funding rate of 45 percent of these applications shows
the District's commitment to sustaining an arts and culture industry
which plays a vital role in this city's economic prosperity. These
grantees contribute to the District's nonprofit arts and culture
industry that provides an economic impact of over $1.1 billion to the
city.
It should also tell DC area artists too lazy to apply, that at a 45% funding rate, they need to get off the bitching stool and start applying next year to make the competition a little tougher... just sayin'
$3.2 million was awareded to 100 local artists and nonprofit arts
organizations during the Commission's second round of grants in fiscal
year 2013. The second round of funding was a result of an increase of
$6.8 million to the DCCAH's original budget for this year, so Lionel Thomas is clearly doing a spectacular job during a period of otherwise fiscal austerity everywhere else.
