Amy Schissel recipient of Joan Mitchell Foundation Summer Residency/Grant 2019
"The Joan Mitchell Foundation was established in 1993 to fulfill the ambitions of Joan Mitchell to aid and assist contemporary artists and to demonstrate that painting and sculpture are significant cultural necessities. To further this mandate, the Foundation supports visual artists through a range of programs.The Joan Mitchell Center supports artists first and foremost through the Artist-in-Residence Program. This residency program will offer space and time for artists to create work in a contemplative environment, focusing on the transformative possibilities of a residency experience. In an expansive space, artists can explore new mediums and ideas over a period of one to five months. While staying in the Center’s lodging in the historic Faubourg Tremé neighborhood, artists are ideally situated to access the myriad and unique stimuli of a historically dense city". -JOAN MITCHELL FOUNDATION
