In the first half of its fourteenth cycle, the Fund made nine awards, providing assistance with shipping and travel to nine individual artists, two of whom were participating in the same group show. These artists--three of them Nohl Fellows—work in a range of media and their exhibitions took them to Flagstaff, Arizona; Denver and Grand Junction, Colorado; Park City, Utah; and Austin, Texas. Destinations abroad include Scheifling, Austria; Toronto, Canada; and Jeonju, South Korea.

Ben Balcom received funds to travel to the Hotel Pupik Artist Residency in Scheifling, Austria, where he will create a site-specific video installation for the Pupik group exhibition. This work of expanded cinema will deploy video projection, objects, and still images in architectural arrangements, and will be similar to the work he exhibited as a 2016 Nohl Fellow.
