Following the death of artist/writer Jacki Apple, I worked with her sister and several colleagues to create The Jacki Apple Award in Performance and Artist Projects. This annual award gives $10,000 to an artist in LA and one in NYC, administered by the LACE (LA) and Franklin Furnace, (NYC). The first Apple/LACE award in 2024 went to Marcus Kuiland-Nazario, and the first Franklin Furnace Apple award is Maria Bauman.  Jennifer Moon is the 2025 LACE Apple Awardee. Following the horrible LA fires of 2025, the Fund created  FireBreak through LACE to assist impacted artists, and a donation to The Brick's Grief & Hope. We are supporting student presentations at UC/Irivine, the presentation of ASU's DBR Lab at National Sawdust in NYC, and the Art in Odd Places festival in LA. After decades of pursuing grants, it's gratifying to be on the giving end!
