James F. L. Carroll, artist, director and founder of the New Arts Program, Inc. in Kutztown, has been awarded a third Pollock-Krasner Foundation grant for 2015-2016.
The Pollock-Krasner Foundation, Inc. was established in 1985 for the sole purpose of providing financial assistance to individuals working in the visual arts with established ability through the generosity of the late Lee Krasner, one of the leading abstract expressionist painters and the widow of Jackson Pollock.
Since its inception the foundation has awarded 3,850 grants totaling $58 million to visual artists in 75 countries. This grant will support Carroll’s professional expenses for one year making narrative works on linen and cotton canvas, handmade paper spheres and wall installations.
Carroll will exhibit “Works on Canvas 2013-14” at the Martin Art Gallery at Muhlenberg College, Allentown. The Opening Reception is Jan. 21, from 4:30 to 6 p.m. The exhibition will be shown through Feb. 21.
