Today's episode is especially exciting because we are announcing our 2021 grant winners. We are so grateful to every artist that entered, and the quality of work we saw truly blew us away. Of course, we would have wanted to give money to all of you, but the sad reality is that it is just not possible.
In this episode, we shed light on what the selection process looked like this year, and we also give you insights into who some of our esteemed judges were. Before announcing the finalists and the winners, we thought it only fair to pay our respects to winners of years past. Tune in to hear it all!
