Joan Mitchell Foundation 2010 MFA Grant Recipients A NOTE FROM CUE ART FOUNDATION Moving forward with the success of the last eight years, the Directors of CUE Art Foundation are pleased to host the ninth annual Joan Mitchell Foundation MFA Award exhibition. This year the exhibition will showcase the work of artists who were granted the award in 2010 to further demonstrate CUE's continuing respect for a sister Foundation that has a laudable record of supporting artists at all stages of their careers. In the philanthropic and educational aims of its grants and programs, we feel that the Joan Mitchell Foundation's mission is consonant with our own. The support of the Joan Mitchell Foundation has enabled these artists to establish a foothold in their artistic careers. Some used the grant as seed money to acquire or build a studio space; others purchased art materials; still others used the money to travel or relocate. However the money was used, this exhibition highlights the importance of assisting artists in the formative years of their careers. All of these artists exhibit a high level of quality, imagination, and commitment to their work and studio practice. We thank them for participating, and hope that this exhibition will further generate new opportunities for them in the ensuing years. About Joan Mitchell Foundation Established in 1993, the Joan Mitchell Foundation sustains and celebrates Joan Mitchell's unique legacy as a leading American Abstract Expressionist painter, and honors her commitment to the support of visual artists. The Joan Mitchell Foundation focuses on two objectives: first, the study, preservation, and exhibition of the work of Joan Mitchell, as well as the examination and documentation of her life; second, to assist in the development, growth, and continued maturation of contemporary visual artists by providing support for painters and sculptors throughout all stages of their careers. The Foundation supports exhibitions of Joan Mitchell's work both in the United States and internationally and is undertaking the process of organizing a comprehensive catalogue raisonne of her work. To meet the needs of visual artists, the Foundation has developed several programs. These include direct awards to painters and sculptors, support for the documentation of the work of older artists to ensure the preservation of their individual legacies, a comprehensive program of free art education for New York City youth through afterschool, Saturday, and summer classes, and emergency funding to individual artists and arts communities in need of support after experiencing a disaster. In addition to these programs the Foundation is in the process of establishing an artists residency at the new Joan Mitchell Center in New Orleans. Complementary programs will be developed in collaboration with local arts organizations that will allow the Foundation to expand its support for the New Orleans visual arts community begun post Katrina. As part of its ongoing collaboration with other arts organizations, the Foundation supports a multitude of services for artists, such as professional development programming, documentation of work, exhibitions, and residencies. The 2011 MFA Exhibition at CUE Art Foundation is one example of a joint project the Joan Mitchell Foundation is a part of, others can be found at www.joanmitchellfoundation.org |
