A program of the Joyce Foundation, the Joyce Awards support Midwest cultural institutions interested in commissioning works by artists of color.

Launched in 2004 as an annual competition, the Joyce Awards target cultural organizations in Chicago, Cleveland, Detroit, Indianapolis, Milwaukee, and St. Paul/Minneapolis. While the Joyce Foundation has long provided major funding to Chicago-area cultural institutions, the establishment of the Joyce Awards marked the expansion of its culture grantmaking to other Midwest cities.

Four grants of $50,000 each will be awarded in 2010 in the areas of dance, music, theater, and visual arts.

For further information on the awards, visit the Joyce Foundation Web site.
