On behalf of the Jerome Foundation, Minneapolis College of Art and Design (MCAD) is pleased to present the 2024/25 MCAD–Jerome Fellowship Exhibition featuring four new projects by: Namir Fearce, Nik Nerburn, Amy Usdin, and Ger Xiong/Ntxawg Xyooj. The Jerome Foundation has supported this fellowship program since its inception in 1981.

Artists were selected from 68 Minnesota-based applicants by arts professionals who included Marissa Del Toro, NXTVN Assistant Director of Programs & Exhibitions, Independent Curator, and Art Historian; Raheleh Filsoofi, Interdisciplinary and Itinerant Artist, Assistant Professor in Ceramics at Vanderbilt University; and Ruth Pszwaro, Artistic Director, Grand Marais Art Colony.

Pszwaro stated: “This pool of applicants paired creative risk-taking and a desire to explore their personal narratives as subject matter with a dedication to technical excellence and deep work in the studio. It is an exciting moment for early career artists in Minnesota.”

This competitive fellowship provides $10,000 to each recipient for the production of new work. In addition to being featured in a group exhibition at the MCAD Gallery, fellows have an opportunity to meet with visiting critics during the fellowship year, write an essay about their work for the exhibition catalog, and participate in a public panel discussion.
