Anthony Anaya, Mixed Media; Madeline Denaro, Painting; and Sri Prabha, Video; each received the maximum award of $15,000. These are the largest awards accorded by local arts agencies to visual and media artists in the United States.
The three artists were honored by the Broward Cultural Council on November 3, and will be featured in a winners exhibition for the works of the 12 recipients from the five counties within the SFCC jurisdiction. The artworks will be on view at the Art and Culture Center/Hollywood, 1650 Harrison Street, from September 8 through October 22, 2017.
