Originally conceived as a renewal opportunity similar to an academic sabbatical, the Creative Renewal Arts Fellowship program offers artists and arts administrators the opportunity to renew and refresh their creativity. Every odd-year, the program awards thirty fellowships to qualified professional artists and arts administrators who are employed by a nonprofit organization. Since the inception of the fellowship, the Arts Council has awarded $3.675 million to 430 artists and arts administrators in all artistic disciplines.

The Creative Renewal Arts Fellowship program is made possible by generous support from the Lilly Endowment.

The Exhibition runs: April 19 - June 12, 2019.

Free!


ABOUT   D.  DEL REVERDA-JENNINGS:
The Indiana-based Interdisciplinary artist is widely recognized for creating  striking sculptural works which utilize a variety of materials including both non-ferrous and precious metals, stone, paint, natural materials, fiber, glass and more, as well as her compelling figurative work, paintings and provocative installations.  The award winning artists' ongoing creations celebrate women, depicting females who are in a state of self-discovery, insight, mystery, empowerment and affirmation, while exploring the complexities of biracial / multi-ethnic / multiracial-cultural identity, and personal/social identity.

Many references are obtained from spiritual and religious histories that have aesthetic traditions based in the African Diaspora.  She uses women's issues, the female body and the power it employs to investigate colorism and other stereotypical assumptions still found in contemporary culture.  Pervasive concepts in her work come from a range of personal influences including traditional and original personal symbolism which has evolved out of multi-racial and multi-cultural perspective reflecting African, American, African-American, Latin/Taino, and Native Alaskan cultures.

Throughout the years the Alaskan Native, has participated in numerous national, international art presentations showcasing her acumen and versatility in creating 3-Dimensional work, Installations, Painting, Jewelry Design, Functional~Decorative works, and as a published Author.   D.  Del Reverda-Jennings' work has been exhibited and is held in private and corporate collections internationally.
