Now in its fourth year of operation, the Foundation, created by co-founders Patricia Pratchett and Bettie Ward, is becoming an established source for grants to individual artists and a presence in the local arts community. The purpose of the Foundation is to identify, recognize and award outstanding San Antonio artists across various artistic disciplines. With this round of awards the AF will have awarded nearly $275,000 to over 50 artists.
