Jonathan Prince views art as a journey that contemplates science, technology, and an ongoing investigation of spirituality. Through stretching the limitations of his materials, Prince finds possibility within vulnerability and beauty in the chaos. Prince is one of the only sculptors who fabricates all of his sculptural works, from small to monumental scale at his own state of the art fabrication studio in The Berkshires, Massachusetts. Prince’s works are in several prominent collections around the world and he has exhibited at Christie’s New York. jonathanprince.com Zdeněk Lhotský is a painter, sculptor, glass artist, and technologist, as well as founding member of Czech artistic group Stubborn One.

Whether crafting building facades, interior lighting, fountains, staircases, or glass bowls and vases, his creations consistently feature decorative and technological innovation.  Lhostky has exhibited internationally, and his works are held by numerous public and private galleries including Museum of Decorative Arts in Prague, Tacoma Art Museum, Museum of Arts and Design, and Museum Ernsting Stiftung. lhotsky.cz Alexandra Grant is a Los Angeles– and Berlin–based visual artist whose work explores issues around communication across languages, literary traditions, and cultures.

First and foremost, they are true lovers of art and artists. Their continued support of artists through all phases of their creative journey is unique, championing great artists who, for whatever reason, were underrecognized, and providing support to artists eager to make the time to hone their craft and the galleries that support them. As LMAR enters their third season of a fully supported artist residency, Jennifer and David are restating their mission to provide a home, studio space, and supplies for artists to stop, breathe and contemplate. The goal is for artists to have uninterrupted time to reassess, experiment, and explore their creativity, try new things while in a beautiful, serene setting. longmeadowartresidency.com The San Francisco Arts Education Project was founded in 1968, and for more than 50 years has stayed true to its mission: to enrich the lives of children by facilitating hands-on participation in the visual and performing arts—taught by practicing artists.
