WORCESTER The Mass Cultural Council has chosen Caitlin McCarthy and Shrish Korde, both of Worcester, among Massachusetts artists who will each receive $15,000 2021 Artist Fellowship Awards.
The awards are for exceptional work in the disciplines of Crafts, Dramatic Writing, Film & Video, Music Composition, Photography, and Sculpture/Installation/New Genres.
McCarthy, who received a fellowship award in the Dramatic Writing category, has written several award-winning screenplays. She said she submitted her crime thriller A Native Land for fellowship consideration. In A Native Land, a Black Native American cop battles local prejudice, personal troubles, and her own police force while trying to unmask a serial killer on the loose. I was inspired to write A Native Land because I am of Métis descent through my Huron (Wendat)/Abenaki/French Canadian ancestry McCarthy said.
