Congratulations to multi-disciplinary Iranian-born artist Parisa Ghaderi for winning the annual 2023 Envision: Michigan Artist Initiative Award! The jurors, Neil A. Barclay of the Charles Wright Museum of Art, Shannon Rae Stratton of Ox-Bow School of the arts and Nayda Collazo-Llorens, last year’s winner, had their work cut out for them. The other finalists for the prize were BakPak Durden and Levon Kafafian.
