Sierra Arts Announces Grant Recipients

Sierra Arts Foundation announces its recipients for the 2013 Grants To Artists program. These grants, reinstated after a four year hiatus due to financial constraints, support local professional and student artists in four major disciplines: Visual, Literary, Performance, and Music. The moneys are independent of any project but are awarded instead as a celebration of artistic merit as a member of our community.

This year’s $1000 professional recipients are: Visual – Jennifer Graham, Ahren Hertel, Blanco de San Ramon, Joseph DeLappe, and Emily Rogers; Literary – Tee Iseminger and June Sylvester Saraceno; Performance – Mary Bennett, Sandra Neace, and Pan Pantoja; Music – Dustin Budish and Bryan Jones.  The John and Rose Ascuaga Student Artist Award of $500 goes to musician Blake Feldman. The George Hutchinson Student Artist Award of $500 goes to visual artist Molly Allen.

As part of their selection to receive these awards all of the artists will participate in a group exhibition in the Sierra Arts Gallery at 17 S. Virginia St. from July 2 through August 2 with an artist reception on Friday, July 12 from 5-7pm. This reception is free, open to the public, and sponsored by Wild River Grille.
