Alumni + Faculty News – Neddy Fellows

Originally posted on 16 July 10:

Each year the Behnke Foundation in Seattle has a committee nominate several artists for the Neddy Artist Fellowship in two media. For 2010, the SoA had an alumni in each category: Margie Livingston (MFA 1999) in painting and Marvin Oliver (MFA 1973) in glass. Livingston was chosen as finalist for the painting fellowship. Congratulations!

Work by all of this year’s nominees is currently on exhibit at the Tacoma Art Museum in Honoring 15 Years of Neddy Artist Fellows. The show also includes work by all of the fellows from 1996-2009, which includes current faculty (Akio Takamori), retired faculty (Michael Spafford), and several alumni: Donnabelle Casis (MFA 1997), Lauri Chambers (BFA 1996), Claire Cowie (MFA 1999), Eric Elliott (MFA 2007), Claudia Fitch (BFA 1975), Brian Murphy (MFA 1999), Mary Ann Peters (MFA 1977), Barbara Robertson (MFA 1979), and Whiting Tennis (BFA 1984).
