Newell Flather Leadership In Public Art Award for curation

I was honored to be named the inauguration co-recipient (as curator) of the Newell Flather Leadership In Public Art Award from New England Foundation for the Arts (NEFA) last night with the irrepressible Silvia Lopez Chavez (as artist). It was a beautiful event at the Four Seasons and so energizing to be among so many friends and colleagues who know the challenges and rewards of this crazy art form.

The award comes with an honorarium that will allow me to hire movers to help with the upcoming studio transition — a first for me and welcome news for my stepsons who have moved me at least twice now.

And in a funny twist, Silvia and I are sharing the award and the new studio too!

I’m thrilled to announce that four works from the Sidewalk Series are now part of the Fidelity Corporate Art Collection. Fidelity supports local artist communities in areas where it has a business presence and engage associates with dynamic, thought-provoking works of museum-quality art in all the spaces where they work. It gives me great joy to know some old pieces of cast-off sidewalk are now part of this prestigious contemporary art collection.
