The seventh cycle of the Greater Milwaukee Foundation's Mary L. Nohl Fund Fellowships for Individual Artists program continues with the appointment of a panel of recognized visual arts professionals to select four Fellows from among 116 applicants. Brooklyn-based artist Jennie C. Jones, Toby Kamps, senior curator at the Contemporary Arts Museum Houston; and Barbara Wiesen, director and curator of the Gahlberg Gallery in the McAninch Arts Center at College of DuPage in Glen Ellyn, Illinois will arrive in Milwaukee on Thursday, October 29, 2009 and will be welcomed at a reception at UWM's Inova/Kenilworth gallery, 2155 North Prospect Avenue. The panelists will offer brief overviews of their home institutions and curatorial interests beginning at 6 pm; their talks will be followed by a reception. The event is free and open to the public.

The Peck School of the Arts, in collaboration with Visual Arts Milwaukee! (VAM!), administers the Greater Milwaukee Foundation’s Mary L. Nohl Fund Fellowships for Individual Artists program. The program, funded by GMF’s Mary L. Nohl Fund, has two components. The fellowship program provides unrestricted funds for Established and Emerging artists to create new work or complete work in progress. The Greater Milwaukee Foundation’s Mary L. Nohl Fund Suitcase Export Fund for Visual Art was created to help artists with the cost of exhibiting their work outside the four-county area (Milwaukee, Waukesha, Ozaukee, Washington). Both programs are open to practicing artists residing in the four-county area.

The Greater Milwaukee Foundation is made up of charitable funds, each created by individual donors or families to serve the charitable causes of their choice.   Grants from these funds serve people throughout Milwaukee, Waukesha, Ozaukee and Washington counties and beyond.   Started in 1915, the Foundation is one of the oldest and largest community foundations in the U.S. and abroad.
