Curated Reading List
We proudly highlight our 2023 ASG Emerging Artist Fellows’ Curated Reading List, which accompanies their exhibition, Re:Manifest in the Gallery’s Open Reading Room. The Fellows have each created a reading list for the public consisting of five books from their Fellowship research materials. Their reading lists include an introduction, title list, and annotations for each title.
View or download the list here.
We thank our 2023 fellowship program supporters, mentors, partners, and participants, as well as our community of volunteers who help tend the gallery and assist with events.
