DALLAS, Texas (June 22 , 2020) – The Nasher Sculpture Center announces the winners of the 2020 Nasher Artist Grants, a program which provides annual financial support to North Texas artists through the distribution of grants which may be used to fund the purchasing of equipment and materials, travel or research, studio space, or artist-run curatorial projects.

The 2020 Nasher Artist Grant awardees are: Sarah Ayala, Sara Cardona, Janeil Engelstad, Julia Jalowiec, David Jeremiah, Cynthia Mulcahy, Nancy Newberry, Darryl Ratcliff, Raul Rodriquez, and Third Space DFW.

Sara Cardona, Dallas

With her Nasher Artist Grant funds, Cardona will deploy her practice of collage-making to create large-scale, animated sculptural forms, which explore “how our system of consumption is itself an organism, and one that has directly led to the virus which now threatens that very system of capital and consumption.”

Cynthia Mulcahy, Dallas

Funds from the Nasher Artist Grant would be partially used for Mulcahy to research and develop further iterations of her current body of work, War Garden, a playful but critical examination of American militarism.

Nancy Newberry, Dallas

With her Nasher Artist Grant, Newberry will purchase a large format printer so she can continue her ongoing series photographed in Texas and Mexico, Character Studies, a contemporary Spaghetti Western staged at the Texas-Mexico border investigating notions of nationalism and community.
