PAULA McCARTNEY AWARDED McKNIGHT FELLOWSHIP

We are very proud to congratulate gallery artist, Paula McCartney, on being awarded a 2013-2014 McKnight Artist Fellowship.

The McKnight Artist Fellowships for photographers support mid-career artists, residing in Minnesota, who use photography as a primary means of creative and personal expression.

The $25,000 fellowship will enable Paula McCartney to study, reflect, experiment and explore over a twelve-month period, with the support and assistance from mnartists.org and the McKnight Foundation. Work created during the fellowship year will be presented in the form of a catalog and a public presentation about their new work.

Keep an eye out for our upcoming 2013-2014 exhibitions schedule, including new work by Paula McCartney and other gallery artists.

Since 1903, the United Kingdom's Art Fund – the national fundraising charity for art – has helped over 700 museums and galleries throughtout the UK acquire thousands of great works of art from 2,000 BC to the present day for the public to enjoy.

In 2010, it assisted the Birmingham Central Library (Birmingham, UK), to acquire the John Blakemore Archive "for the British nation". This is what they've said about John Blakemore's life's work:

"This archive represents a unique collection of over 1,400 pieces relating to the life and work of one of Britain's most important photographers from photographs made in Libya in 1956 through to large colour works exhibited in 2002 and the rich selection of hand-made books made between 1984 and 2009". –Art Fund
