"At times like this of great economic uncertainty it is easy to overlook the valuable role the arts play in community life," said Executive Director Lance Linares.
"Our ability to award these fellowships exemplifies the vision Roy and Frances Rydell had in creating this fund to support the arts in Santa Cruz County in perpetuity," Linares said.
The works of Terri Garland, Daniella Woolf, Skip Epperson and Felicia Rice, the 2008 and 2009 fellows, are now on exhibit at the Museum of Art & History @ the McPherson Center.

The fund was created by the late Roy and Frances Rydell to promote Santa Cruz County artists and arts organizations.
In 2002, local artists, arts professionals and friends of the Rydells helped the Foundation create the Rydell Fellowship Program.
The fellowships are awarded solely on the merits of the artists' work. Each of the eight fellows selected to date received a $20,000 award. |
Eligible artists are nominated by regional visual arts organizations and final selection made by a panel of arts professionals.
Nominees are limited to working artists, 25 years of age or older, who reside in Santa Cruz County and are not enrolled in a degree program.
Interested artists should view the Frequently Asked Questions for more information.
E-mail Project Director Jack Walsh or call (831) 477-1264 ext. 300.
