Congratulations to Carla Mckinney who was chosen as the recipient of December’s $1,000 grant!
Carla is putting together a photography/ text book entitled 'Street Ink: Southwestern Urban Folk Art' in an attempt to explore the human impulse to create art. Street Ink will feature photographs of street murals, impromptu wall art and embellishments from commissioned professionals to anonymous street artists. Her project was both unique and well thought out. She plans to use the grant to help with her research, image preparation, and the creation of a project website to help share her story with the rest of the world.
Carla has been a professional writer since 1989 and she started writing for Demand Media Studios in July 2010. Thanks for such an inspiring project Carla, and best of luck!
We’ve read some amazing applications and would like to remind you that you can submit one project up to three times. The guidelines and application are in the Help section of your Resource Center.
