“I was really excited by their explorations into new materials, sculptural work, and the depth of the themes they are exploring through their work — really getting at complex, contradictory subjectivities and perspectives. I love their unapologetic embrace of these contradictions and the dimensional world-building they are both doing, albeit in very distinct ways! Each is at a really fertile creative period ready to launch into the next stage of their careers…. and I hope this fellowship can be a small part of that!” — 2023 Feldman Fellow Juror Audrey N. Lopez

About Walter Feldman and His Legacy
This program is made possible with the investment of celebrated abstract expressionist artist Walter Feldman (1925-2017), a renowned abstract expressionist who long held the goal to support young artists with opportunities for professional recognition and growth. As such, the application criteria were established by Walter Feldman when founding the program. As a painter, printmaker, and educator who taught students at Brown University over more than 60 years, Mr. Feldman’s legacy will continue to impact young artists through this program.
