Visiting Artist Colloquium: Brenda Baker & Bird Ross

Brenda Baker & Bird Ross are Madison-based socially engaged artists working in multiple media, including painting, sculpture, installation and textiles, who show their work locally, nationally and internationally. The creation of Being Forward, the Women Artists Forward Fund, and the Forward Art Prize, is one of their largest of many collaborations over the past two decades.

They have received prestigious international, national and local grants to support their individual practices, which significantly advanced and buoyed their careers. Since this meaningful funding has largely disappeared, they wanted to recreate opportunities to recognize, support and honor women artists and their contributions to our community. womenartistsforwardfund.org
