The Doris Duke Charitable Foundation and Creative Capital have announced recipients of the inaugural Doris Duke Impact Awards, which grant $80,000 to each awardee. Winners for the third edition of the Doris Duke Artist Awards, which comes with $275,000, have also been announced. It's all part of a ten-year initiative aiming to invest in artists by offering flexible, multiyear funding in response to financial challenges that are specific to the performing arts.

Since commencing in April 2012, the program has awarded a total of $18,100,000 to artists in the fields of jazz, dance, and theater. Said Ben Cameron, program director for the arts at the foundation: “This year's roster of Doris Duke Artists is an extraordinary group, representing a wide range of artistic styles, ages, communities, and experiences. We're honored to recognize their singular achievements and their continuing influence on their respective fields, and to offer them this extraordinary commitment of time and money.”
