Recognizing the “magnificent range of disciplines and diversity of our nation's artists”

Ten of the 63 artists receiving $50,000 unrestricted cash awards from United States Artists are Native American. US Artists announced its 2022 Fellows on Wednesday. The group selected from 10 disciplines are the largest cohort since the organization’s start 16 years ago.
