Carrie Iverson Wins Center for Craft Grant

Printmaking area coordinator and adjunct assistant professor Carrie Iverson was selected for the 2024 Teaching Artist Cohort Grant from the Center for Craft in Asheville, North Carolina.

The Center for Craft awards a dynamic group of 20 mid-career craft artists a one-time, unrestricted grant of $10,000. Awardees join a 6-month cohort experience that supports their artistic and teaching career development with programs, mentorship, and peer-to-peer learning. This program is funded, in part, by the Windgate Foundation and the Maxwell-Hanrahan Foundation.

Carrie Iverson is known for her innovative use of materials and site-responsive installations which have incorporated glass, print, found objects, video, and sound. As part of her studio experiments, Iverson developed a unique process combining traditional lithography with image-making in glass. She has subsequently continued to develop this process in her work and to teach it at studios in the US and internationally.

In June 2024, Iverson has also participated in the Summer Workshop at Tamarind Institute in Albuquerque, New Mexico, a renowned center for fine art lithography that has published work by artists such as Nick Cave, Sonya Clark, Mark Dion, Jeffrey Gibson, and Kiki Smith. This summer Carrie Iverson was invited as one of eight candidates from an internationally diverse group of applicants to participate in a month-long workshop on aluminum plate lithography with Tamarind Master Printer Brandon Gunn.

Previously Iverson was an artist-in-residence at Glenfiddich (Scotland), the Seto Center for Glass and Ceramics (Japan), Pilchuck Glass School, and the de Young Museum, San Francisco, to name a few. Her print-based work is in multiple private and public collections including The Art Institute of Chicago (Chicago, IL), the Museum of Contemporary Art (Chicago, IL), and the Virginia Museum of Fine Art (Richmond, VA).
