Chicago-based nonprofit United States Artists (USA) has announced its winning 2023 fellows, a cohort that includes 45 artists working across ten creative disciplines. Hailing from 19 states and Guam and Puerto Rico, the 2023 awardees, including four Architecture & Design Fellows, will each receive unrestricted $50,000 cash awards. Founded in 2006 in response to significant budget cuts by the National Endowment for the Arts, USA provides direct financial assistance to artists throughout the United States and territories. Since its founding, the organization has distributed over $38 million in funding to nearly 800 artists and cultural practitioners.
“We are thrilled to celebrate this remarkable class of artists who reach across disciplines to imagine new forms of artmaking reflecting commitments to care and kinship,” said USA president Judilee Reed in a statement. “As we enter this new chapter of United States Artists, we will continue to expand upon our historic commitment to elevating artists and their essential work, modeling new paradigms of support that can allow artists to truly thrive.”
