JOAN MITCHELL FOUNDATION ANNOUNCES 2018 RECIPIENTS OF PAINTERS & SCULPTORS GRANTS
New York, NY—December 12, 2018—The Joan Mitchell Foundation today announced the 2018 recipients of its annual Painters & Sculptors Grants, which provide 25 artists with $25,000 each in unrestricted funds. The unrestricted nature of the grants aligns with artist Joan Mitchell’s recognition that having the time and freedom to create is as important to the development of one’s practice as support for specific endeavors. As such, the Foundation, whose mission was set forth in Mitchell’s will, remains committed to providing artists with the flexibility to determine how best to use the grants to advance their careers. Their work represents a wide range of artistic techniques, approaches, and concerns, and engages with such pressing issues as migration, identity, notions of belonging, and representation within the art historical canon and in social and political spheres, among other important subjects. The final selections for the grants are made with a particular eye toward artists whose work has contributed to important artistic and cultural discourse, but who have nonetheless remained under-recognized on a national level.

January 16 – February 20, 2016
Reception: Thursday, January 21 6:00 – 8:00pm
SVA Chelsea Gallery,
601 West 26th Street, 15th floor, New York, NY. 10001

Tidemand (2015), Denise Treizman(2013) and Juana Valdes (1993).
elmuseo@SVA represents a coming together of two New York institutions: El Museo del Barrio and the School of Visual Arts. Founded by artist Raphael Montanez Ortiz and local activists, parents and teachers in East Harlem, El Museo del Barrio’s original mission was to support the art and culture of Puerto Rico. By the early 1970s that mission expanded to include all of Latin America and Latino communities in the Unites States. The work on view in the exhibition explores the aesthetic and thematic affinities of these different but like-minded communities. In the words of curator Aranda-Alvarado: “At various stages of their careers, the artists in the show act as contemporary anthropologists gathering objects or inspiration from the urban landscape, engaging with issues around migration and the body, exploring space and architecture, tradition and craft.”
Reception co-sponsored by El Museo del Barrio, and will include a raffle of exhibition catalogs provided by the museum and SVA Galleries.
There will be a panel discussion in the gallery with curator Rocio Aranda-Avaradoand artists Manuel Acevedo, K.C. Tidemand, Denise Treizman and Alejandro Guzman on Tuesday, February 16 from 6-7:30pm.
