Two Grand Ronde Tribal artists — Steph Littlebird of Salem and Stephanie Craig of Dayton — are among 14 who have been selected to receive grants from the Oregon Community Foundation’s Creative Heights grants program.
According to its press release, OCF’s Creative Heights initiative “has invested roughly $1 million per year since 2014, to support 151 projects across visual art, performance, folk and traditional arts, film and media, literary arts, museum exhibitions, humanities, music, theater, dance, opera, history, cultural heritage and multidisciplinary works.”
“We want to support bold creative visions — not just to advance the careers of these artists, but also to enrich Oregon’s creative landscape. These projects give communities access to groundbreaking arts and cultural experiences,” OCF Senior Program Officer Jerry Tischleder said in the press release. “Opportunities like these are rare. We have found that when given the resources they need to reach for the stars, Oregon’s creatives deliver.”
