MAP Fund is proud to join Princess Grace Foundation-USA in announcing the inaugural recipients of the Princess Grace Artist Fellowship. This initiative provides artists with a $10,000 unrestricted cash grant, paired with one-on-one coaching and participation in a peer-based virtual retreat through MAP Fund’s Scaffolding for Practicing Artists (SPA) program.
The 2025 Princess Grace Artist Fellows are Chih-Jou Cheng, Roderick George, Evan Silver aka Tiresias, and Nesaru Tchaas.
“We are excited to welcome the inaugural class of Princess Grace Artist Fellowship recipients into SPA and to support them in achieving their goals,” said Ron Ragin, MAP Fund’s Director of Programs. “MAP has provided coaching to more than 300 artists, and we continue to hear about the profound and positive impact that coaching can have. We’re grateful to PGF for this partnership and look forward to working with more of its grantees in the future.”
