Congratulations!
Please join us in congratulating the following grantees, who were awarded funding through the Artist Opportunity Grant program. Though GPAC doesn't have the resources to fund all applicants, we work hard to ensure that every application gets a fair review. One recent panelist wrote the following note after participating:
"I just wanted to thank you again for including me on the panel yesterday. It was very illuminating on many levels. One was seeing the obvious care you take to make sure each artist is given a fair read, evaluation and taken on their own merits given their genre, wherever they are in their careers. I felt that you really cared about each artist. We are in good hands here in Pittsburgh!"
~Panelist, spring 2011
Funding for Artist Opportunity Grants was provided by the Fund for Individual Artists of The Pittsburgh Foundation, supported by The Heinz Endowments.
