2025 USA Fellowship Invests in the Strength of Black Women Artists in Illinois

F Newsmagazine: What happens when artists are able to create without financial barriers? Often, financial support isn’t just about funding projects — it’s about unlocking the freedom to dream bigger and give back. Grants provide the resources artists need to sustain their creative practices and, in turn, uplift their communities.

The 2025 United States Artists Fellowship celebrates this strength, highlighting three Illinois-based recipients whose work showcases the potential of Black women artists when given the space and resources to thrive.
