Candice Groot was an artist, teacher, philanthropist and passionate collector. She established the Virginia A. Groot Foundation in 1988, named in honor of her mother. The Foundation awards annual international grants to contemporary artists who work in three dimensions to help allow for the development of their work. Candice was known by artists and dealers alike for her generosity and keen eye. In 2014, she received the Award for Regional Excellence from the National Council on Education for the Ceramic Arts for her significant contributions to the field. Candice was also recognized for her contributions to the arts by The Smithsonian Institute with a recorded self-guided tour of her collection that will be a part of the museum’s permanent archives.
