LOS ANGELES — The Ford Foundation and the Mellon Foundation have announced the 2022 Disability Futures Fellows, two of whom are based in Los Angeles.
The multidisciplinary initiative, administered by United States Artists, awards $50,000 each to 20 disabled U.S. artists and creatives whose work "advances the cultural landscape." The unrestricted funds — $1 million in all — are meant to further fellows' creative pursuits.
This year's recipients — emerging, mid-career and established artists — work in a variety of fields, including theater, film, visual art, music, dance, poetry, comics writing, fiction, nonfiction, journalism and activism.
