Eugene artists receive Career Opportunity grants to fund projects
In the second and final round of the Oregon Arts Commission and Ford Family Foundation’s “Career Opportunity Program” grant awards, 31 Oregon artists were allotted $83,321 for career development projects.
The awards, ranging from $880 to $7,500, include stipends for local artists Mika Aono and Kathleen Caprario.
Career Opportunity Grants are meant to enable individual Oregon artists to take advantage of timely opportunities to enhance arts careers. The Ford Family Foundation funds are available to established Oregon visual artists producing new contemporary art and craft. Most grants support the artists’ participation in residencies, exhibitions or performance opportunities.

A Critical Conversation, at Eugene Contemporary Art’s ANTI-AESTHETIC gallery through March 21, she merges her interest in pattern and the environment with the topic of race.
Sponsored by a Black Lives Matter artist grant from the Jordan Schnitzer Museum of Art and a 2020 Lane Arts artist grant, the gallery show features work by eleven artists and four poets, as well as two panel discussions and a March 6 screen print performance.
