Going Fourth - I got another MN State Arts Board Grant!

Yes, I'm 4 for 4 in my applications for grants for the Minnesota State Arts Board Artist's Initiative Grant for 2018.

I found out a week ago but have been too busy to post it here.

Anyway, here's the description - I've been wanting to work with bronze for quite a while and these funds will help me do that. It will no means make me rich, but it is a nice chance to work with a mentor and feel free to play around with a few ideas and hopefully make more sales or get more public art commissions.

Kyle L. Fokken, Minneapolis
Fokken will be exploring mold making, bronze casting, and fabrication techniques to make a new body of works based on animals. He will purchase a TIG welder and hire a professional bronze sculptor as a mentor.
