Joyce Award Winners
Past Joyce Awards have spanned the visual, performing, new media, and multi-disciplinary arts and have fostered impactful collaborations between artists, Great Lakes organizations, and communities.
The Joyce Awards has also been catalytic in advancing the career of artists working across disciplines. A distinct feature of funded projects is the requirement that artists and host institutions include a robust community engagement strategy in their project plan, which often informs the project from the initial concept through the final presentation.
