Ohio Arts Council Awards Three Members of the Studio Art Department

The Ohio Arts Council has bestowed Individual Excellence Awards to R. Kauff (Visual Arts 2D), Jacob Koestler (Media Arts), and Myles Dunigan(Visual Arts 2D) of the Oberlin College Studio Art Department.

The program recognizes outstanding accomplishments by artists in a variety of disciplines. Awards give artists the resources to experiment and explore their art forms, develop skills and advance their careers, and receive affirmation and acknowledgment for outstanding work.

Funding recommendations for IEA are made through an anonymous, open panel review process focused on the exceptional merit of past artistic work.

During this funding cycle, nearly 600 applications were received from artists from across the state. Applications in crafts, design, interdisciplinary, media arts, photography, visual arts 2D, and visual arts 3D were accepted. Each approved artist will receive a $5,000 award.

Congratulations!
