susan benson fund for visual artists

This fund was established by Susan Benson to respond to her knowledge of the historical and continuing unique challenges faced by women visual artists, especially in regards to material expenses related to creating and exhibiting works and generally being recognized. Established as a limited-term donor directed fund, this grant is available to visual artists living on Salt Spring Island. Preference will be given to support women artists, but all island-based artists are eligible. The intention is to support artists who are committed to building their creative careers.
