Trisha WalkerHOOD RIVER — The Ford Family Foundation has awarded $2,500 to Joy Kloman, Hood River artist, to support her international artist residency at Hangar Center of Artistic Research in Lisbon, Portugal, in March 2026.
The award comes in the second round of 2025 Career Opportunity Program grant awards, and the Oregon Arts Commission and The Ford Family Foundation grants.
Career Opportunity grants support individual Oregon artists by enabling them to take advantage of timely opportunities that enhance their artistic careers. Most grants support the artists’ participation in residencies, exhibitions or performance opportunities.
“This grant program invests in the career growth of talented Oregon artists,” said Arts Commissioner Jason Holland, who led one of two review panels. “Such support helps artists build visibility and opens doors to new creative paths and collaborations."
The Ford Family Foundation funds are available to established Oregon visual artists who are producing new work in the fields of contemporary art and craft.
"The Ford Family Foundation values creativity in our communities and is thrilled to align with the Arts Commission to invest in career opportunities for Oregon artists," said Kara Inae Carlisle, president and CEO of The Ford Family Foundation.
