I am pleased to report that I have been awarded the 2026 Toledo Lucas County American Rescue Plan Act Individual Artist Grant!
For many of us who are print artists AND on a fixed income, this grant is much welcomed resource by which we can properly (and using archival practices), present our work in a professional manner. With many unexpected gallery opportunities in 2025-26, the TLC ARPA grant means that regional artists )like myself) can extend their reach and expand their creative potential. Thank you!

Craig Fisher is supported in part by American Rescue Plan Act (ARPA)funds allocated by the City of Toledo and the Lucas County Commissioners and administered by The Arts Commission.

The Arts Commission is a 501(c)3 nonprofit organization founded in 1959 to foster Toledo’s heritage in the arts. The organization is the longest-standing arts commission in the state of Ohio, serving youth, artists, arts organizations, and the general public. Since 1977, The Arts Commission has managed the City of Toledo’s One Percent for Art program, the first in the state of Ohio and among the first in the nation, and maintains Toledo’s impressive collection of public art
