One Atlanta artist has just received a boost to his practice: This week, South Arts, which highlights and supports artists working in the Southeast, named Masud Olufani as one of their 2017 State Fellows. Olufani was chosen to represent Georgia in this honor, and is one of nine artists in the region to receive this fellowship.
This is the inaugural year for the fellowship. South Arts established it hoping to impact the careers of visual artists in the nine-state Southeast region they serve. Each artist will receive $5,000. Fellowship recipients will also compete for the South Arts Southern Prize of $25,000 and a two-week residency at The Hambidge Center for the Creative Arts and Sciences. One finalist will also be awarded a $10,000 prize.
