Creative Capital has awarded grants to three projects from Texas for 2008. Luke Savisky (Austin) for his M/x, in the experimental film/video category, Otabenga Jones and Associates (Robert A. Pruitt, D. Jabari Anderson, Kenya Evans, Houston) for Uhuru Squad, a public art project, and Lili (Kaneem) Smith (Houston, TX) for her installation Forsaken Eulogies: Indifference. Each has received a $10,000 initial grant. As the projects develop, the organization offers additional funds; projects may receive as much as $50,000 each through the tenure of the multi-year grant. Among the many panelists doing the selecting were Andrea Grover (Aurora Picture Show, Houston) and Valerie Cassell Oliver (Contemporary Arts Museum Houston).
