JANE DUNNEWOLD: SAN ANTONIO ART LEAGUE & MUSEUM ARTIST OF THE YEAR 2019
SEPTEMBER 8 - OCTOBER 27, 2019

Picture
For the first time in its 107-year history, the Artist of the Year Committee, chaired by Steven G. Smith, has chosen a fiber artist as its Artist of the Year for 2019. Jane Dunnewold was selected through a year-long two-part process, beginning with a list of 10 renowned regional artists, and ending with three finalists whose portfolios were evaluated by three out-of-state art academicians, gallerists, and curators. Their choice was Jane Dunnewold for the consistent excellence, significance, and maturity of her body of work.

Chairperson Steven G. Smith shared a brief excerpt from one of the jurors' critiques:
"Jane Dunnewold’s artworks are an accurate reflection of the authenticity and creativity that exist at the center of her practice. Integral to the visual forms she creates is the foundational spirit at the heart of each piece. . . Her choice of working with fiber arts, an artform that has existed for thousands of years but has only recently arrived at the 'fine arts' table, democratizes the interpretive playing field, allowing further opportunity for personal meaning-making and forcing viewers to reconsider the age-old question, 'what is art?'"

Dunnewold will be honored with a one-person exhibition and retrospective at the San Antonio Art League & Museum in September of 2019.

The Artist of the Year Reception will be held at the Art League’s King William gallery, 130 King William Street, from 3-5 p.m. on Sunday, September 8th. Dunnewold’s Exhibit will close on October 27th with an Artist’s Talk and closing reception. Both events are free and open to the public.
