The Center for Craft is offering unrestricted $10,000 grants to twenty-one mid-career craft artists who will participate in an 8-month cohort experience, in which they will be guided through training that encourages and sustains a generative practice as both artists and educators. The Center intends to develop and strengthen a network of craft artists through peer-to-peer learning and connection to enrich the impact on their communities. Applications are due November 30, 2022.

On September 18, 2022, Hurricane Fiona, a Category 1 storm, devastated Puerto Rico’s southwest coast triggering destructive flooding, mudslides, and an island-wide power blackout. Four fatalities have been reported, and more than 778,000 residents were without drinking water as of Monday. Rainfall totals exceeded 24” in several areas.
Fiona’s landfall coincided with the 5-year mark since Hurricane Maria, a devastating Category 4 storm that decimated the island’s power grid and claimed the lives of nearly 3,000 people. Since Hurricane Maria, infrastructure in Puerto Rico remains fragile, and many homes still had temporary blue tarp coverings, making the impacts of this storm more severe.

If you know craft artists who suffered significant losses as a result of the severe weather, please help us spread the word that they can apply for CERF+’s Emergency Relief grant program. Questions?
