The Greater Tacoma Community Foundation believes "Thriving Arts & Culture" are necessary for a Vibrant Community.  This annual program was established by the Community Foundation to honor professional artists living and working in Pierce County.  The award is possible thanks to a fund created at the Community Foundation to support the Pierce County art community. 

The $7,500 award recognizes Kinoshita’s talent and his commitment to the creative community of Pierce County.  This regionally significant award will result in a commissioned art piece for the Community Foundation, which was unveiled in Fall 2010.

A special thanks to our selection committee including Amy McBride, Arts Administrator, City of Tacoma; Jp Avila, Professor of Art, Pacific Lutheran University; Rock Hushka of the Tacoma Art Museum; Susie Russell Hall, Local Artist; Kit Severson, Community Representative and Community Foundation Board Member; Rose Lincoln Hamilton, President and CEO, the Community Foundation; and Jim McDonald, Panel Moderator.
