Grants to artists to support the time, reflection, immersion or experimentation beneficial to the development of their artistry.
Dancers become birds, become predators, become fish, become legendary characters. Drums pound. Voices rise and pulse. Knees bend and shoulders swoop so that blankets come alive. Arms fly out to strike angled postures — here a poised spear, there a wingtip, flight feathers angling in complicated winds.

Anchorage, AK – Rasmuson Foundation is pleased to announce three new hires as we grow to better serve Alaska. One is our first external affairs program officer, with duties that bridge grantmaking and connections with the larger philanthropic world.
Walk into an exhibit of Amy Meissner’s work like her recent “Inheritance”project, and you will immediately recognize familiar textile objects — quilts, doilies, handmade pieces of fabric used for generations to warm and decorate our homes. Yet as last summer’s exhibition at the Anchorage Museum revealed, they are anything but commonplace.
