The Chicago-based non-profit 3Arts has issued its largest round of grants this year, awarding $470,000 to Chicago artists. During its online award ceremony Monday night, it also announced its new $50,000 Next Level/Spare Room Award, an unrestricted cash prize, made possible by an anonymous donor, that will be given to three women visual artists: Hu’o’ng Ngô, Folayemi Wilson, and Amanda Williams.
