Artists Against Anti-Asian Violence on Artsy

Link: https://www.artsy.net/collection/artists-against-anti-asian-violence-dominique-fung

Featured in the current Art Keeps Going Benefit Auction, this collection—co-curated by The Here & There Collective (THAT) and artist Dominique Fung—brings together a selection of works by a talented group of emerging artists united in their support of the Asian Pacific American community. Spanning a breadth of backgrounds and artistic styles, these artists explore a variety of themes in their works, including the current sociopolitical climate.

Organized in the wake of the COVID-19 pandemic that exacerbated pre-existing inequities and saw a rise in anti-Asian attacks, proceeds from the Artists against Anti-Asian Violence benefit auction will support Heart of Dinner and the Asian American Legal Defense and Education Fund (AALDEF)—two organizations working to secure a better future for the Asian Pacific American community. By delivering weekly hot lunches and fresh produce to Asian American elders in Lower Manhattan, Brooklyn, and Queens, Heart of Dinner works to fight food insecurity while supporting local small businesses during their COVID-related recovery process. AALDEF protects and promotes the civil rights of Asian Americans with nationwide programs on immigrant rights, housing justice, and more.

I am thrilled to be a recipient of the 2020 Nancy Graves Grant for Visual Artists!

Established through a provision of the artist’s Last Will and Testament, the Foundation has supported the work and artistic development of individual artists since 2001. Initially nominated by artists and arts professionals from across the country, a second panel of jurors selected four grantees to receive unrestricted funds to work in a technique, medium or discipline that is different from the one for which they are primarily recognized.

I plan to use the grant to learn woodworking to expand my practice.
