Artist Trust, a nonprofit that supports working artists of all disciplines in Washington State, announced the recipients of the 2022 Artist Trust Fellowship Awards: visual artists Crista Ann Ames, David Chatt, and Tamela Laclair; performing artists Alfonso Cervera, Nia-Amina Minor, and Jovino Santos Neto; multidisciplinary artists Kamari Bright (Fellowship Award for Black Artists), Camas Logue, Darrell McKinney (Greg Kucera & Larry Yocom Fellowship Award), d.k. pan, and D.A. Navoti; media artist Neely Goniodsky; and literary artists Shin Yu Pai, Olivia Stephens, and Arianne True. Each artist received a cash award of $10,000. 2022 marks the largest Fellowship cycle in Artist Trust's history, with $150,000 in funding awarded to fifteen Washington state artists, compared to $90,000 the prior year. In October 2021, long-time donors Greg Kucera and Larry Yocom contributed $500,000 to create two new permanent Fellowship Awards: the Greg Kucera & Larry Yocom Fellowship Award, and the Artist Trust Fellowship Award for Black Artists, both awarded for the first time this year. This gift, combined with renewed support from the Vadon Foundation and increased support from individual donors, allowed Artist Trust to provide fifteen awards this year. Arianne True was selected as the recipient of the Vadon Foundation Fellowship Award for Native Artists.
