We are excited to share the generous micro grant project, The P(h)ew Awards, created by Rami George to pass along 10% of their recent Pew Fellowship award to queer and trans artists, writers, performers and musicians in the Philadelphia region. Congratulations, Rami, on this thoughtful and brilliant project! And congratulations to each of the 16 P(h)ew winners, including several with connections to Artblog: Corey Qureshi, Jordan Deal, Savan DePaul, and Suldano Abdiruhman! We love this project and are honored to announce it in our pages! Also in the news, we congratulate Kukuli Velarde and can’t wait to hear her Keynote address Thursday at 5 PM for the University of Pennsylvania Forum on Immigration.
