Congrats to Mel Chin on the MacArthur Genius Felowship!

So, so happy to see Mel Chin with a MacArthur Genius Fellowship!

I’ve worked with him and the Fundred Team for four-plus years now. I’m always amazed by their spirit, kindness as well as the challenge and boldness of Mel’s vision. One challenge in particular that sticks with me: Envision your work on a scale appropriate for the issue you’re addressing. Shout out to Amanda Wiles for her dedication and stewardship!

Excited to continue work with the SOURCE Studio folks to learn with and support artists addressing our climate, communities and environment.

Check out the video below. Proud also of Mitchell Clifford who makes a cameo appearance around minute two. He worked with Mel on his Wake project in Asheville/Times Square last summer.
