  • Google Calendar ICS

BirdScapes is a collaborative public artwork by Susan Feigenbaum, sculptor, and Megan Moore, painter. The artists researched five Minnesota habitats: deciduous woodland, boreal forest, prairie, and lakes and rivers. Moore painted characteristic flora and captured the atmosphere of these habitats on columnar forms. Feigenbaum created sculptural accents and the Minnesota bird species that depend on these habitats. The style of the artwork is meant to convey the essence of these birds and where they live.

Studio: HERE 2017 • 12 Artists, 12 Hours, 12 Days

The Studio: HERE project provides a window for fair guests into the practice of art-making: the opportunity to witness how art objects rarely just tumble out and that being an artist requires sustained work. I will use my 12 hours in The Fine Arts Building gallery as a working studio day, and provide a look into the world of hands-on labor and how my ceramic sculpture is created through work -- and sustenance from food-on-a-stick.

2017 Jerome Ceramic Artist Project Grant

  • Google Calendar ICS

I am proud to announce that I am a recipient of a 2017 Jerome Ceramic Artist Project Grant, awarded by Northern Clay Center. The project period is April 1 - December 31, 2017.

The following information is from the Northern Clay Center website, northernclaycenter.org.

Susan Feigenbaum plans to use the time and space provided by the award to consider new compositional presentations for her work and to aggressively pursue corporate commissions. She will do a deep dive into ceramic chemistry to expand her palette. Finally, Feigenbaum will continue her critical dialogue with her mentorships developed during her time in NCC’s MN NICE program.

This year’s selection panel consisted of our winter McKnight Resident Artist, Eva Kwong, who is also an educator and an author; visiting artist, Pattie Chalmers, curator of our spring exhibition, Roadside Attractions, and professor at Southern Illinois University–Carbondale; and local potter and NCC teaching artist, Peter Jadoonath, who is a former Jerome recipient himself.

We wish to thank each of them for a day of very thoughtful deliberations; their valuable feedback is available to the grant recipients and applicants as a form of professional development.

2017 marks the 27th year of support for this program from the Jerome Foundation. The Foundation supports emerging artists in Minnesota and New York City who, among other qualifications:

  • take risks and embrace challenges 
  • are rigorous in their approach to creation and production 
  • are under-recognized by their peers.
