The foundation was created in 2007 to award charitable and educational gifts which reflect John's interests and values. John's skills as a fine furniture maker were a result of passion, dedication and the guidance of a well-known furniture artist. Without that guidance, John would not have realized his capabilities. In an effort to support the art that John loved and the people who make it, the Foundation has created a fellowship to encourage and support a young-in-career furniture artist with the financial assistance to help them succeed in their journey. The fellowship has been designed to help support a talented furniture artist looking to fulfill an apprenticeship, develop their own skills, and/or make the transition to independence.

The John D. Mineck Furniture Fellowship of $25,000 is awarded anually to one artist and is administered by The Society of Arts and Crafts (SAC).

As the flood waters subside and Middle Tennessee progresses with clean up and salvage we wanted to get the word out that the Studio Protector web site is now online and has information that will help artists and those with items they wish to salvage from this flood or other emergencies such as burst pipes. Of particular interest are the following pages:

Cleaup
Salvage Basics

The Studio Protector also has information on getting help from relief providers and the arts sector. The online information is at: Disaster Relief

In addition to this informational resource for all artists, CERF+ offers financial assistance to professional craft artists whose careers have been threatened by this disaster, and other emergencies.

Thanks to efforts since Katrina we now have the beginnings of a network on the ground that can help point you to resources for artists and arts organizations if they are needed. You may be aware of the www.ArtsReady.org web site that is being developed for arts organizations by our friends at SouthArts.

The Furniture Society will be at the International Contemporary Furniture Fair (ICFF) in New York City, May 15- 18, 2010. Come visit our booth or view images of member works on Flickr or Facebook.
