John Dunivant, Theatre Bizarre’s creator, has just been chosen as a 2011 Kresge Arts Fellow. From The Kresge Foundation:
The Kresge Artist Fellowships are given to artists whose commitment to innovation and artistic achievement are evident in the quality of their work. The fellowships recognize creative vision and commitment to excellence within a wide range of artistic disciplines, including artists who have been classically and academically trained, self taught artists and artists whose art forms have been passed down through cultural and traditional heritage.
Congratulations to John and many thanks to the Kresge Foundation.
