Devan Horton
Visual Artist
2025 Art Meets Activism | (Bellevue) $10,000 to build a body of work with botanical dyes and homemade paints using tie dye, batik, print making, and painting techniques. She will work through the perspective of women farmers, focusing on individual backgrounds and the uniqueness of each farmer and farm. This project builds her artistic skill set and develops an important shift in her art that allows her to be more closely connected to the farmers and communities who care for the land, build support of our women-owned farms, and motivate others to reconnect with practices passed down by generations of Appalachian women.
Previous Grants
2023 Art Meets Activism | (Bellevue) $5,000 to create paper (homemade paper which contains pollinator seeds) along with some botanical mediums (walnut ink, botanical dyes). This project will allow the community of Bellevue to create an image that will be planted in a vacant space, growing into a community meadow honoring mothers. This project not only contributes to an ecosystem but also teaches the power of planting seeds, gives a place to practice gratitude and connects community members to a place they call home.
