 The Neddy Artist Fellowship (“the Neddy”), established by the Behnke Family and the Behnke Foundation, is one of the few unrestricted cash awards granted to visual artists in the Northwest. The Foundation recently announced this year’s finalists. The artists nominated for painting are Tim Cross, Eric Elliott, Gary Faigin, and Lynda Lowe. The finalists for glass are Benjamin Moore, April Surgent, and the artist teams of Joey Kirkpatrick and Flora Mace; and Jenny Knowles and Sabrina Pohlman. The two Fellowship recipients—one in each category—will be announced at the Tacoma Art Museum Members’ Opening and Artist Party Saturday, June 6 at 6:30 pm. Admission to that event is free for all attendees. This is the fifth year Tacoma Art Museum has collaborated with the Behnke Family and the Behnke Foundation to host the exhibition of finalists for this prestigious award. "We are delighted by our partnership with the Behnke Family and the Behnke Foundation. We share the common goal of highlighting exemplary artists working in the Northwest," said Tacoma Art Museum Director Stephanie Stebich. "The Neddy Artist Fellowship is one of only a handful of significant regional awards for visual artists offering substantial monetary support."    |
