?? Cheers! To the 2024 Walter Feldman Fellows! The Arts & Business Council of Greater Boston is excited to announce this year's Walter Feldman Fellows Jo Nanajian and Rowan Raskin! Jo Nanajian, originally from Beirut, Lebanon, has lived in the US for 15 years and counting. She finds inspiration in the interplay between materials, narratives, and identity. Armed with a BFA in General Fine Arts with a concentration in Book Arts from the Maryland Institute College of Art (MICA), her creative journey has been marked by a relentless exploration of form and meaning. Rowan Raskin is a queer, non-binary artist from Arizona and a graduate of the Rhode Island School of Design (2021). Currently located in Boston, MA, Rowan is inspired by their childhood spent exploring the deserts of Arizona and mythologizes the Southwestern queer experience. Rowan received the Worcester Center for Art’s Glass Residency upon their graduation and more recently has shown work with the Art League of Rhode Island, the Fort Points Art Space Gallery in Boston, and The Peg Center for Art and Activism, among others. Now in its 10th year, the Walter Feldman Fellowship for Emerging Artists supports the professional careers of visual artists through gained knowledge of exhibition practices or alternative presentation of work and curatorial and professional development support, including expert guidance on improving business skills for the effective presentation and promotion of work. I’ve been a board member of the Arts & Business Council of Greater Boston for the past five years. I’m so proud of the work we do supporting artists and creating opportunities to thoughtfully incorporate more art into our work spaces and communities.
