| dc.description.abstract | In 2014 The Ford Family Foundation concluded the first five years of funding for its Visual Arts Program, which supports Oregon's visual artists and enhances the state's visual arts ecology. A strong element of the program was the Curator and Critic Tour and Lecture Series; ten respected out-of- state curators and critics came to Oregon to interact with 69 visual artists in their studios, provide professional feed- back, and offer community lectures. Equally important, they became more knowledgeable about the visual arts in Oregon, which will help the artists make crucial connec- tions in other markets. This book is The Ford Family Foundation's opportunity to celebrate the Oregon artists visited on the Tour and to ex- pose many more people to their work. Each of the artists has his or her own distinctive voice, yet a common thread ran through the intensely personalized conversations with the curators and critics - hard work. Noted one artist: "The most important thing is the dedication to the studio art practice because ultimately success is a byproduct of how hard you're willing to work." | en_US |
