SAIC Community Members Receive Lucas Artist Fellowships
Congratulations to current graduate student in the Performance department Ali Asgar (Tara) and Lecturer Rashayla Marie Brown (BFA 2015, Photography) who are recipients of the Montalvo Arts Center's Lucas Artist Fellowships. The fellowships are awarded to 33 artists of exceptional talent from across the United States and the world. Each artist selected is awarded three months in the Lucas Artists Residency over three years, with the ability to return multiple times. Lucas Artists Fellows are also welcomed to bring collaborators into residence with them. This represents significant ongoing support for an artist’s work over a three-year period, according to the Montalvo Arts website. Montalvo houses the oldest artist residency program on the West Coast, hosting artists since 1939.
In celebration of alum Georgia O’Keeffe: My New Yorks opening current SAIC students were invited to submit artworks inspired by O’keeffe and the city of Chicago.
