Local artists receive relief grants Originally published in The Chronicle Vol. 139 January 20, 2021 STAFF REPORT chroniclenews@countrymedia.net
Over 600 artists across Oregon have received relief grants from the Artist Relief Program, and two are located in Columbia County. Visual artist Susan Curington from Deer Island was awarded $1,000 in relief funds, and musician Timothy Van Cleave of Scappoose was awarded $2,300. The two were selected out of more than 1,000 eligible applicants to receive relief funding. The relief program was created by the Oregon Arts Commission in partnership with the Oregon Community Foundation and the James F. and Marion L. Miller Foundation. Curington said she plans to use the grant money to start teaching classes online. “I was teaching quite a lot— that came to a screeching halt,” she said. The grant funds provide a resource for her to overcome some of the hurdles of transitioning classes to an online audience. Curington’s been a lifetime painter, but started to take it more seriously in 2008 when she had more time on her hands. She recently moved into her new studio in Deer Island and said she is excited for the time when students can be brought back for in-person classes. Over $1.25 million in grants were awarded to 646 artists of varied disciplines throughout the state. “Artists are the creative core of our communities and help define who we are. They inspire us to innovate, to learn and grow,” said Brian Rogers, executive director of the Oregon Arts Commission. “We are thankful to be able to provide support as our artists continue to suffer great losses due to the pandemic.” The funding serves to help artists struggling with
