The Rockefeller Brothers Fund (RBF) announced it would award its annual Pocantico Prize for Visual Artists to Chie Fueki. The artist will receive a $25,000 grant and a two-month residency at The Pocantico Center, a cultural venue and conference center on the former Rockefeller family estate in Tarrytown, NY. Art lovers of all ages can meet the artist and experience her creative process during an open studio on May 18.
“From our earliest years, we imbue symbols with deep meaning that can connect or divide us across cultures and generations. I choose connection—I choose communication, beauty, exploration, and surprise,” Fueki said. “The Pocantico Prize and my residency at The Pocantico Center will afford me an opportunity to continue discovering new perspectives and imagining new linkages.”
