We are excited to announce that this year’s Profunds and GSO grants have been awarded. Created by the Tisch Undergraduate Student Council (TUSC) and Graduate Student Council (GSO), and generously funded by Dean Allyson Green, ProFunds and GSO grants empower students to create their own works of art to share with the Tisch community. Projects culminate in performances, exhibitions, and/or screenings, and are open to the Tisch community.
Without further ado, here are this year’s recipients:
