Since its inception, the Ruth and Harold Chenven Foundation has awarded grants to more than 200 artists. The list below identifies all RHCF grantees for each year the Foundation has awarded grants.
The grantees reflect the variety of fine art and craft expression that the Foundation has been privileged to support. All grantees were selected by a panel of jurors who include past grant recipients, other artists, curators, and art historians dedicated to supporting the arts.
