The Norton Museum of Art in West Palm Beach and the Cultural Council for Palm Beach County are partnering to host studio spaces and provide support for give grant-receiving emerging Palm Beach County-based artists.
The recipients of the Cultural Council for Palm Beach County’s Emerging Artist Prize are: Hodaya Louis of Loxahatchee; Jamie Rodriguez of West Palm Beach; Laura Tanner of Boca Raton; Sitki Dogan of Lake Worth Beach; and Kelvin Small of Jupiter.
Part of the Council’s Year of Extraordinary Support, the award includes a nine-month program focused on professional development. The five recipients will each be paired with arts professional mentors and receive ongoing training and advice. They also receive a $3,000 stipend for materials or supplies and a working studio space for four weeks each at the Norton Museum of Art studios.
Selected through a competitive application process, the five recipients were chosen from a significant number of applicants by a committee of regional and national arts professionals.
Louis was the program’s first resident. The residencies will continue with interdisciplinary artist Tanner and mixed-media artist Rodrigues, both June 30 to July 25; and muralist Dogan and fine art photographer and contemporary visual artist Small, both August 4-29.
