To whom it may concern,
I am writing on behalf of the Big Field Fund to confirm Elizabeth McTernan has received a
project grant of $8000 in support of MEANDERING RIVER for the 2024-25 funding cycle.
In its inaugural year, the Big Field Fund (BFF) awarded $61,134 to 11 grantees, all Iowa
artists or collectives living within an 80 mile radius of Iowa City. MEANDERING RIVER was
one of 6 ambitious project proposals selected by this year’s panel of jurors, four artists
and cultural workers – Jane Gilmor (Cedar Rapids, IA), Jill Wells (Des Moines, IA), alea
adigweme (Providence, RI/Los Angeles, CA), and Connie Yu (Philadelphia, PA). BFF grants
support publicly-engaged experimental, collaborative, and connective artist-led visual
arts projects in eastern Iowa. Big Field Fund is a Regional Regranting Program supported
by The Andy Warhol Foundation for the Visual Arts and administered by Iowa City arts
organization Public Space One (PS1).
Please reach out if you have further questions regarding this Big Field Fund award.
Sincerely,
Lydia Diemer she/her
