NEW YORK, NY – August 13, 2025 – The Joan Mitchell Foundation is pleased to announce the recipients of the 2025 Joan Mitchell Fellowships: 15 US-based artists working in the evolving fields of painting and sculpture. The artists, who hail from 11 states and range inage from 30 to 74, will each receive $60,000 in direct funding, distributed over five years alongside professional development, peer engagement, and network-building programs. This year’s Fellows announcement coincides with the Foundation’s year-long celebration of Joan Mitchell’s centennial year and a major exhibition, on view for the month of August, marking 10 years of the Joan Mitchell Center residency program in New Orleans. The Fellowship awards represent a $900,000 monetary commitment to the 15 artists, augmented by more than $400,000 in non-monetary services offered over the five years of the program.
Bob Dilworth (b. 1951, lives in Providence, RI) is a painter who depicts stories from his family, friends, and personal life to reconcile his Southern roots with his current life in Rhode Island. His most recent works incorporate fabric elements and sewing to embellish the surface of his paintings.
