/in

The New York Foundation for the Arts (NYFA) recently announced the recipients and finalists of its 2016 Artists’ Fellowship Program, awarding a total of $647,000 to 98 artists (including five collaborations). Several of the artists honored in the discipline of Photography have been previously (and in some cases, currently!) supported by Light Work as either Artists-in-Residence, Light Work Grant Recipients, Light Work Exhibiting Artists, or a combination of all three.

Included in the list of honorees this year are artists Sylvia de Swaan, Takahiro Kaneyama, Susannah Sayler & Edward Morris, Pacifico Silano, Lida Suchy, John Trotter, Linn Underhill, and Shen Wei.

We would like to wish a warm congratulations to the Light Work Artists!
