Aminah Brenda Lynn Robinson Residency
Columbus Museum of Art, in partnership with the Greater Columbus Arts Council, has appointed three national jurors to the selection jury for the inaugural Aminah Brenda Lynn Robinson Residency. Multifaceted artist Faith Ringgold, best known for her narrative quilts; professor, painter and printmaker Curlee Raven Holton; and Kellie Jones, professor in art history and archaeology in the Institute for Research in African American Studies at Columbia University have been named to the seven-person jury for determining the recipient of the 2020 Aminah Brenda Lynn Robinson Residency. Launched this past December, the residency is open to all African American professional visual artists living in the United States. Invited artists have the opportunity to stay in the late Robinson’s restored Shepard community home in Columbus, Ohio, while devoting time to creating art within the artist’s home studio. The inaugural 90day residency runs from August 17 to November 15 and includes a $2,500 award and stipend of up to $5,500.
