Coronavirus gives ‘heightened urgency’ to new Mike Kelley Foundation art grants

The Mike Kelley Foundation for the Arts is scheduled to announce its 2020 project grants on Wednesday morning, which will include support for interdisciplinary performances, a sound art project by Latinx artists and an exhibition that will bring together work by three important female artists who connected with one another in the 1970s through UC Irvine’s then-nascent master’s in fine arts program. … This year’s recipients include: … The Armory Center for the Arts in Pasadena, for a group show that will bring together work by Nancy Buchanan, Marcia Hafif and Barbara T. Smith, three important L.A. artists who met at UCI in the ’70s.
