The Nancy Graves Foundation is pleased to announce the recipients of its annual Nancy Graves Grant for Visual Artists. 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.
Ron Bechet, based in New Orleans, LA, is known for his large black and white charcoal murals and installations that reference transformation, place and ancestry. He plans to cast large sculptures using the lost wax technique. Dylan Hausthor, based on Peaks Island, ME, is known for his documentary filmmaking and photography. He plans to build a large wooden sculptural structure as a site for experimental narrative performance projects. Anna Hepler, based in Greenfield, MA, is known for her immersive installations and suspended sculptures made from a wide range of materials. She plans to construct a ceramic sculpture built to billboard proportions. Wade Kavanaugh and Stephen B. Nguyen, based in Bethel, ME, are known for their warehouse-sized immersive environments and large sculptures using paper as their medium. They plan to experiment with steel and translating their work into public spaces.
Each artist received an award of $12,500.00.
