The Joyce Foundation announced that the awards have been awarded to the collaborations located in Chicago, Cleveland, and the Twin Cities.
The Joyce Foundation added that they were proud to be one of the participating organizations. Faheem Majeed, a visual artist, will be commissioned by the Hyde Park Art Center to create monumental artwork. Majeed will create the artwork, exhibition, and programming in order to commemorate the legacy of the South Side Community Art Center.
The 2020 Joyce Awards focus on the theme of history, resilience, and heritage. The $50000 grants will help in the development of engaging, educating, and challenging artworks.
