The Maryland State Arts Council (MSAC), an agency of the Maryland Department of Commerce, announced today that $290,000 has been awarded to 50 Maryland artists through the 2020 Independent Artist Awards (IAA). With awards this year focused on performing arts, 2020 awardees represent a diverse range of artistic talent from across the state – from puppeteers and choreographers to a set designer and a highland bagpiper.
Awardees will be highlighted on MSAC’s social media (@mdartscouncil) beginning in July and will be honored during a ceremony to be planned once the COVID-19 State of Emergency is lifted.
Read on for the full list of awardees.
