ART WITH PURPOSE
LONG MEADOW ART RESIDENCY
The Long Meadow Art Residency was conceived in 2021 with the aim of supporting artists who create their art using
diverse mediums and through a range of disciplines. They will arrive from varied backgrounds and of all ages.
ARTIST SPOTLIGHT: JAMEL ROBINSON
Long Meadow Art Residency welcomes Jamel Robinson as its new artist-in-residency for the Fall 2022 term.
Robinson is a multidisciplinary artist who utilizes a variety of mediums: painting, sculpture, writing, and performance. His abstract expressionist work has gained him
notoriety in the art world while attracting many prominent collectors.
"Jamel was an absolute stand out among applicants,” said LMAR’s Co-President Jennifer Herman. “He
has an incredible iconography and an incredible balance of social commentary and profound
aesthetics.”
A self-taught artist hailing from Harlem, New York, Robinson’s work revolves around the experiences that shaped him. His solo exhibition, “Beauty from Ashes”, has been praised by the New York Times and was showcased at the Hudson River Museum. During the residency, Robinson hopes to revise existing works and “bring them into conversation with new ones” all while “allowing nature and her tools to inform that journey along the way."
