Artist Opportunity grant from Ohio Arts Council

Exciting news! I was recently awarded an Artist Opportunity Grant from the Ohio Arts Council, along with dozens of other artists from across Northeast Ohio and around the state. For the project I submitted, dubbed the "Fairfax Neighborhood History Project," I'll interview Fairfax residents and past residents and help document the collective history of that community. (I am from Cleveland Heights, not Fairfax, but have long been interested in the historically Black neighborhood as a Clevelander and also because my grandfather grew up there before his family moved to Cleveland Heights in 1918.) Thank you to the Ohio Arts Council for this amazing opportunity! I'll post more updates here as soon as the project gets started.
