The Joyce Foundation announced four winners of the prestigious 2012 Joyce Awards to commission artists of color to create new works with cultural institutions. The Joyce Awards recognize innovative, thought-provoking projects and come with a $50,000 grant. Winners were selected for artistic merit, audience engagement potential, and are commissioned in collaboration with an arts or cultural institution that contributes to a dynamic community engagement plan. 

The 2012 winner in the dance category is Reggie Wilson working with Columbia College Chicago Dance Center to create Moseses Project, an evening-length dance theater work, exploring the interfaith mythical, biblical, historic and global references of Moses.
