Portland artist and illustrator Daniel Minter has received a $75,000 award from the Chicago-based Joyce Foundation to support artists who are Black, Indigenous and people of color to create projects in collaboration with other presenters.
Minter will work with the Lynden Sculpture Garden in Milwaukee to create a new and lasting piece of work based around ash trees that are being attacked by the emerald ash borer, an invasive species that also is decimating ash trees in Maine. The 40-acre sculpture garden includes a forest with ash trees.
