We extend our warm congratulations to artist Thordis Adalsteinsdottir, one of this year’s Pollock-Krasner Foundation grant recipients.

Adalsteinsdottir shared that during her grant year, she plans to focus on creating a new body of paintings. She will also produce works for and curate the second installment of "Creative Responses" at the Akureyri Museum in Iceland, and participate in a group exhibition at Scandinavia House in New York City. Most importantly, she will devote substantial time in the studio to developing her painting practice, taking creative risks, and experimenting with new ideas.

Founded in 1985 at the bequest of American abstract expressionist painter Lee Krasner, the widow of legendary artist Jackson Pollock, The Pollock-Krasner Foundation has for more than three decades supported outstanding and promising artists, fostering their creative practice and artistic growth.
