"United States Artists (USA), a Chicago-based nonprofit, has named 50 artists across disciplines to receive its annual $50,000 unrestricted financial award. After a year-long selection process, which includes nominations, the organization awarded USA Fellowships to artists across the country in 10 discipline categories: visual art, architecture and design, craft, writing, dance, film, music, theater and performance, and traditional arts and media."
"This year's awardee class marks the USA Fellowship's 20th year. The organization considers artists with singular artistic visions who have made an impact in their respective disciplines. Among this year's winners for the visual arts category are Chicago-based artist and curator Edra Soto, whose work contends with diasporic identity; New Mexico-based interdisciplinary weaver Eric-Paul Riege; and Los Angeles-based multidisciplinary artist Mercedes Dorame."
