Jasmine Greer, associate professor of art at Arkansas Tech University, has earned an individual artist fellowship from the Arkansas Arts Council.
According to information provided by the Arkansas Arts Council, its individual artist fellowships are unconditional, non-matching awards made directly to Arkansas artists. An independent panel annually selects nine artists in rotating categories to receive fellowships of $4,000 each. Artists from around the state submitted applications for the fellowships in three categories: painting, excluding works on paper, director of theatre and screenwriting.
“We are pleased to be able to recognize the achievements and outstanding talents of Arkansas artists in three different categories this year,” said Stacy Hurst, secretary of the Arkansas Department of Parks, Heritage and Tourism. “These grants help artists pursue their independent projects and endeavors and help perpetuate and build access to the arts statewide.”
Greer holds a Bachelor of Fine Arts degree from the University of Central Arkansas and a Master of Fine Arts degree from Columbia College Chicago. She has served on the ATU faculty since 2013.
The Arkansas Arts Council will recognize and honor fellowship recipients in a special, virtual program at 5 p.m. Thursday, Oct. 15, at www.facebook.com/ArkArtsCouncil and www.youtube.com/user/ArkansasArts.
