Meet the awardees.

The CERF+ Emerging Artist Readiness Award provides a $1,000 grant to one early career/emerging artist participating in ACC’s American Craft Made Baltimore marketplace to safeguard their craft-based practice from a future emergency. Awardees are then invited to nominate a peer in the craft field who would benefit from funds to safeguard their practice, and this peer is awarded $1,000 as well.
