This past month Oolite Arts announced its 2019 recipients of the Ellies Visual Arts Awards. Over 500 artists and educators submitted proposals to these competitive awards and forty-four winners were selected. Three of the forty-four recipients were faculty from Florida International University’s College of Communication, Architecture + The Arts.
Amongst the winners, adjunct faculty Linda Chamorro and Coralina Rodriguez Meyer from the Department of Landscape Architecuture & Environmental and Urban Design were selected, and Marcelo Ertorteguy from the Department of Architecture. The three faculty winners were awarded the Creator Award, which supports working artists with grants of $2,500 to $25,000 to realize a significant visual arts project that will advance their careers.
The Ellies are offered in three categories to support Miami-Dade working and emerging artists, art educators, and established, professionally accomplished artists.
