Toya Northington

(Louisville): $2,800 to create works for a collective online experience that will marry performance and social practice art with 2D paintings, a multimedia piece, and a facilitated group discussion. Grant funds will give her the chance to expand her skills into multimedia (video), gain exposure by presenting her work to a national audience, solidify her portfolio of encaustic works (hot wax painting), and provide the space to tell her story in a public forum.
