Ms Alpert Fay, a textile artist recognized for innovation within her field, received the CCCT grant in January for her new work in sculpture. The grant was awarded to continue “current endeavors” and “realize artistic vision.” Much of the artist’s past work has been commissioned for private residences and can also be found in corporate and museum collections.
