The Empowered Artist Award, created in honor of Linda Marston-Reid, the former executive director of Arts Mid-Hudson, provides unrestricted funds to support artists in pursuing their creative journeys.

The Empowered Artist Award addresses the critical need for artists to access unrestricted funds that enable them to continue their artistic practice, elevate their careers, and enhance their visibility within their communities. These grants empower artists to create new works, acquire essential equipment, access educational opportunities, and meet their financial obligations.

Arts Mid-Hudson congratulates Jean-Marc Superville Sovak, Jill Enfield, and Gwen Laster on their remarkable achievements and looks forward to witnessing the continued growth and impact of their artistic journeys. These artists exemplify the spirit of creativity and innovation that enriches our communities and inspires us all.
