The 2010 Individual Artist Awards will be offered in collage and assemblage, drawing, and general fiction. Winners in each category will receive a $2,000 cash prize. Visual arts winners are given a solo exhibition in the Arts Fund Gallery. The 2010 general fiction winner will give a public reading of his or her work in a public venue in Santa Barbara. All winners and honorable mention recipients will be invited to participate in a group exhibition and award ceremony sponsored by the Arts Fund on Sept. 16, 2010.
