Two faculty members in the School of Art’s printmaking division have received funding from the Illinois Arts Council. The grants are highly competive and only offered every other year for visual artists.

Ashley Nason, assistant professor of art in printmaking, received an Illinois Arts Council Individual Artist Grant award for $7,000. Her work can be viewed online at http://www.niu.edu/art/faculty/nason.html.

Michael Barnes, associate professor of art in printmaking, received an Illinois Arts Council Individual Artist Grant Finalist award for $700. It’s the second IAC grant for Barnes, who received the full $7,000 award in 2001. His work is available online at www.michaelbarnes.us.
