The Joyce Foundation is proud to announce the 2010 Joyce Awards<\/em><\/strong> winners in the Midwest cities of Chicago<\/span>, Milwaukee<\/span>, and Minneapolis<\/span>\/Saint Paul<\/span>.<\/p>\nSince 2003, the Joyce Awards<\/em><\/strong> program has been the only granting opportunity exclusively supporting artists of color in major Midwestern cities.<\/p>\n Joyce is awarding five outstanding arts organizations grants of $50,000<\/span> each to support new works in dance, music, theater, and visual arts. <\/span><\/p>\n Winners in each artistic category include:<\/strong><\/p>\n “The Joyce Foundation is proud this year to grant five Joyce Awards<\/em><\/strong> to very talented artists and the vibrant cultural institutions that will present these works,” stated Ellen S. Alberding<\/span>, president of the Joyce Foundation.<\/p>\n “Their artistry illustrates the diversity and creativity that lies within our area and is part of what makes the Great Lakes region so special.”<\/p>\n Since its inception in 2003, the Joyce Awards<\/em><\/strong> has supported cultural institutions in Chicago<\/span>, Cleveland<\/span>, Detroit<\/span>, Indianapolis<\/span>, Milwaukee<\/span>, and Minneapolis\/St. Paul<\/span>.<\/p>\n Award winners have not only presented their works to the institutions’ traditional audiences; they have also worked with community groups, school children, and public art projects.<\/p>\n The goal is for these commissions to produce vivid, new works of art that strengthen cultural venues and draw people of diverse backgrounds to experience the rewards of participating in the arts as well as elevate the visibility of creative works by minority artists.<\/p>\n Applications are reviewed by independent arts advisors from outside the Midwest and reviewed and approved by the Foundation’s board of directors. Joyce Awards<\/em><\/strong> of $50,000<\/span> are made directly to arts organizations and are awarded in dance, music, theater, and visual arts.<\/p>\n Each award supports the work of the individual artist as well as significant community engagement efforts. Organizations have up to three years to complete their proposed projects.<\/p>\n For more information on applying for a 2011 Joyce Awards<\/em><\/strong> or to learn more about the Joyce Foundation, please visit joycefdn.org<\/a> or call 312-782-2464.<\/p>\n About the Joyce Foundation<\/em><\/strong><\/p>\n Based in Chicago<\/span>, the<\/em> <\/em>Joyce<\/em> <\/em>Foundation<\/em> <\/em>supports<\/em> <\/em>efforts<\/em> <\/em>to<\/em> <\/em>strengthen<\/em> <\/em>public<\/em> <\/em>policies<\/em> <\/em>in<\/em> <\/em>ways<\/em> <\/em>that<\/em> <\/em>improve<\/em> <\/em>the<\/em> <\/em>quality<\/em> <\/em>of<\/em> <\/em>life<\/em> <\/em>in<\/em> <\/em>the<\/em> <\/em>Great<\/em> <\/em>Lakes<\/em> <\/em>region. <\/em><\/p>\n Cultural<\/em> <\/em>funding<\/em> <\/em>supports<\/em> <\/em>projects<\/em> <\/em>that<\/em> <\/em>bring<\/em> <\/em>diverse<\/em> <\/em>audiences<\/em> <\/em>together<\/em> <\/em>to<\/em> <\/em>share<\/em> <\/em>common<\/em> <\/em>cultural<\/em> <\/em>experiences<\/em> <\/em>and<\/em> <\/em>encourage<\/em> <\/em>more<\/em> <\/em>people<\/em> <\/em>to<\/em> <\/em>see<\/em> <\/em>the<\/em> <\/em>arts<\/em> <\/em>as<\/em> <\/em>integral<\/em> <\/em>parts<\/em> <\/em>of<\/em> <\/em>their<\/em> <\/em>lives.<\/em> <\/em> <\/em><\/p>\n The<\/em> <\/em>Foundation<\/em> <\/em>also<\/em> <\/em>makes<\/em> <\/em>grants<\/em> <\/em>in<\/em> <\/em>the<\/em> <\/em>areas<\/em> <\/em>of<\/em> <\/em>Education,<\/em> <\/em>Employment,<\/em> <\/em>Environment,<\/em> <\/em>Gun<\/em> <\/em>Violence<\/em> <\/em>Prevention,<\/em> <\/em>and<\/em> <\/em>Money<\/em> <\/em>and<\/em> <\/em>Politics.<\/em><\/p>\n 2010 Joyce Awards Program Supports Five Midwest Cultural Institutions to Commission New Works by Artists of Color The Joyce Foundation is proud to announce the 2010 Joyce Awards winners in the Midwest cities of Chicago, Milwaukee, and Minneapolis\/Saint Paul.
