CHICAGO (WLS) The COVID-19 pandemic has not been kind to the arts globally, but it s not all bad news here in Chicago. Nine local artists of color were recently awarded two-year fellowships to pursue major creative projects as RadLab Fellows at Threewalls. Threewalls recently awarded nine artists and creatives $32,000 to help advance racial equity through their artistic and creative practices, said Jeeffreen Hayes, the organization s executive director. We re very fortunate to be able to support artists.
The award has traditionally been $25,000 per year, per artist, but the amount was raised this year to account for increased need during the COVID-19 pandemic.
