"The Innovate Grant is truly a significant milestone for me as an artist. Despite my persistent efforts, I have never received a grant before, making this one even more meaningful to me. While the monetary value of the grant is undoubtedly beneficial, what I appreciate even more is the sense of validation that comes with it. Being an artist can be a solitary endeavor, much like stumbling around in the darkness, which makes receiving this grant feel like a flicker of light on my journey."
— Akshay Mahajan Winter 2023
