The Nancy Graves Foundation awards the annual Nancy Graves Grant for Visual Artists to Dyani White Hawk, Sharon Lockhart, Carmen Argote and Joiri Minaya. Established by the artist, the Nancy Graves Grant for Visual Artists supports artists wishing to work in a technique, medium or discipline that is different from the one for which they are primarily recognized. Nominators from different parts of the country proposed several artists, who were invited to apply. A panel of independent jurors reviewed the applications and selected the grantees.
Dyani White Hawk, based in Minneapolis, is known for her paintings combining modernist abstraction with Lakota art forms. She wishes to create a gallery installation of video works. Sharon Lockhart, based in Los Angeles, is known for her filmic and photographic work. She plans a collaborative project to produce a large embroidered textile work.Carmen Argote, based in Los Angeles, is known for her installations assembled from domestic, industrial and natural materials. She seeks to create a series of large paintings. Joiri Minaya, based in the Bronx, NY, is known for her videos and performances exploring tropical identities.
