Artists

“Many of the artists we award are elders or late-career artists. This presents a heightened sense of urgency—we want to make sure we honor and support them in sharing their cultural knowledge to ensure these art forms continue.”

The Arizona Commission on the Arts awards 2022 Research & Development (R&D) Grants to 30 Arizona artists to advance their artistic practice, expand their creative horizons, and deepen the impact of their work.
