DocuSign Envelope ID: 1A195186- E6B7- 44D4- A4B0- 8016C160DAAF <br />Artist Experience The Orange County Arts Commission Artist Project Grant will <br />facilitate my artistic development and public engagement. Currently, I <br />work four part time jobs, including as an arts educator, to stay <br />financially solvent and maintain my studio practice. It is incredibly <br />rewarding to see my students grow confident in expressing their <br />ideas and working with new materials. Additionally, I dedicate my free <br />time to helping artists prepare exhibitions. This year, I helped <br />acclaimed artists Heather Gordon and Debbie Quick install their work <br />at the North Carolina Museum of Art (NCMA) and Artspace, both in <br />Raleigh, NC. <br />Working to support my artistic career requires determination and the <br />ability to maximize my resources. Recently, this hard work has <br />translated into significant opportunities for professional development <br />and advancement. Along with my upcoming workshop and <br />residency, I am one of seven artists selected for a prestigious solo <br />exhibition at the SunTrust Gallery in October 2018. In March, I was <br />chosen for the Raleigh Fine Arts Society 2018 Artists' Exhibition <br />juried by Jennifer Dasal, Associate Curator of Contemporary Art at <br />NCMA. Finally, I am one of four artists selected from the southeast for <br />the six month Emerging Regional Artist Residency at Artspace, in <br />2019. <br />My experiences as a working artist have taught me to make the most <br />of what is afforded to me, and these future opportunities have the <br />potential to transform my artistic career. The Orange County Arts <br />Commission Artist Project Grant will have a profound impact on my <br />ability to realize this potential. <br />Budgeted Expense <br />Budgeted Income n/a <br />Resumes of artists /administrators <br />KJohnston_CV2018.pdf <br />Publicity Samples <br />RFAS_ Artists _Exhibition_Cata log ue_2018.pdf <br />ContemporaryArtLondon _March20l 7.pdf <br />SanAntionioCurrent_May2016.pdf <br />Work Samples <br />KJohnston_lmages.pdf <br />AnomalyoftheSpectator.JPG <br />Mar.png <br />DermoidLover.jpg <br />Belladonna.jpg <br />
