KODIAK ARTS COUNCIL ARTIST AWARDS

The Kodiak Arts Council offers Artist Awards every year to further individual growth in the arts. Award funds can be used to support a variety of artistic pursuits, including but not limited to: attending workshops or classes, purchasing materials or supplies to begin, advance, or complete work, supporting expenses related to arts business development (marketing, online media, exhibition support materials). A designated Ginny Shank Dance scholarship is also awarded annually in the discipline of dance.

The Awards Committee will review the applications and select awardees. Decisions will be based on completeness of application, quality of artistic work within the context of the applicant's experience and career stage, impact of the award on the applicant's artistic growth, and intended benefit for the Kodiak community.

Congratulations to our 2025 Artist Award Winners!
