Lauren Corwin Receives Individual Artist Grant

Lauren Corwin, Ranney Upper School Visual Arts Art History teacher, has received an individual artist grant from the New Jersey Council on the Arts for Painting.

The Individual Artist Fellowships - carried out in partnership with Mid Atlantic Arts - are competitive awards to New Jersey artists, in 13 rotating disciplines, granted solely on independent peer panel assessment of work samples. The anonymous process is focused on artistic quality, and awards may be used to help artists produce new work and advance their careers. This year, 893 New Jersey artists applied for awards in the categories of Film/Video, Digital/Electronic, Interdisciplinary, Painting, Printmaking/Drawing/Book Arts, and Prose.

“It’s energizing to start my work with the Council by providing vital support and recognition for these amazing New Jersey artists,” said Lieutenant Governor Dr. Dale Caldwell, who oversees the State Arts Council in his capacity as Secretary of State. “Thousands of artists choose to live and work here in New Jersey, inspiring us all through their presence as change agents, teachers, healers, and connectors.”
 
“The incredible need for this program is evidenced by the significant growth we’ve seen in recent years,” said Allison Tratner, Executive Director at the State Arts Council, referring to the increased number of applications. “Each Fellowship award makes such a positive difference in an artist’s life, helping to strengthen their careers and in turn bolstering our creative industries. Playing a part in that process is not only gratifying but important in so many ways.”
