"When I first offered this grant, the reason was simple. I wanted to give back. I know artists struggle financially, and this grant serves to give jewelry artists a little room to think, to be creative, and to not feel so much pressure. It’s my intention that the grant help an artist complete a project that might not have been possible otherwise. The grant this year feels especially needed."
