Anita Fields

Born in Oklahoma, Anita Fields is a multi-disciplinary artist and citizen of the Osage Nation. She is known for her works which combine clay and textile with Osage knowledge systems.

Fields explores the intricacies of cultural influences at the intersections of balance and chaos found within our existence, explaining that “The power of transformation is realized by creating various forms of clothing, coverings, landscapes, and figures. The works become indicators of how we understand our surroundings and visualize our place within the world.” In this way, the early Osage concepts of duality, such as earth and sky, male and female, are represented throughout her work.

Her sculptures have been featured in many solo and group exhibitions, including the Counterpublic2023 St. Louis Triennial, St. Louis, Missouri, Form and Relation: Contemporary Native Ceramics, Hood Museum, Dartmouth College, the 2018-2020 Hearts of Our People, Minneapolis Institute of Art, and the 2018 Art for A New Understanding: Native Voices, 1950’s to Now at Crystal Bridges Museum of American Art, and Pottery by American Indian Women at the National Museum of Women in the Arts, Washington DC.

Her work can be found in several collections, such as the Museum of the American Indian, Smithsonian, the Museum of Art and Design, New York City, the Minneapolis Institute of Art, Dartmouth College, New Hampshire, and the Heard Museum, Arizona. Fields is 2017-2023 Tulsa Artist Fellowship alumni. She was named a 2021 National Endowment of the Arts Heritage Fellow and received a 2021 Anonymous Was a Woman award. In 2022 she received a Francis J Greenburger award.

Coulter has exhibited works across the country including The Halsey Institute of Contemporary Art and Mindy Solomon Gallery in Miami. Her textiles works are in the permanent collections of the Columbus Museum of Art and the Mississippi Museum of Art.

Coulter is a 2023 Mississippi Arts Commission Individual Artist Fellowship recipient, the 2023 Mississippi Institute of Arts and Letters Visual Arts Inductee, a 2021 Museum of Arts and Design Burke Prize Finalist, the Jane Crater Hiatt Fellow of the 2021 Mississippi Museum of Art Biennial, a 2019 United States Artists Fellow in Craft, the 2019 Mississippi Institute of Arts and Letters Visual Arts Inductee, and the Finalist for the 2017 SouthArts Southern Prize.

Letitia Huckaby was awarded 2022 Texas Artist of the Year with an exhibition of her recent work Bitter Waters Sweet at Art League Houston, along with a publication. This critical body of work explores the legacy of Africatown, the historic community near Mobile, Alabama, its West-African founders, and their descendants, along with the history of the ship that trafficked them to the States in 1860, the Clotilda.

In 2020, Huckaby was a Fall 2020 Artist in Residence at ArtPace, where her she debuted And Thy Neighb(our), a series that portrays Black refugees and immigrants from across the diaspora in the vein of Old Master paintings.

Letitia Huckaby has exhibited at Phillips New York, the Tyler Museum of Art, The Studio School of Harlem, the Camden Palace Hotel in Cork City, Ireland, and the Texas Biennial at Blue Star Contemporary Art Museum.

Drawing Workshop with Clark Valentine (SOLD OUT)
2024-07-27 13:00 - 15:30
Explore the intersection of mindfulness and artmaking through a meditative ink drawing session with Delta Triennial artist Clark Valentine.
Through a series of mindfulness practices and drawing exercises, students are encouraged to explore their “present-ness” in the creation of two drawings. The first drawing will be a response to body, emotion, and thought awareness, while the second drawing will respond to the Museum’s architecture.
Untitled (Weaving 7) (pictured above) is on view in the Delta Triennial from June 28 – August 25, 2024.
About Clark Valentine
Clark Valentine (b.1997) lives and maintains a studio in Little Rock, Arkansas. Valentine received his MFA from Colorado State University with a concentration in Drawing. His drawings explore ideas of spiritual practice and phenomenology through processes of repetition. Using ubiquitous tools, his meticulous drawings become documents of his physical, emotional and spiritual states of being. The geometries of the work seek a tension between movement and stillness, becoming objects of reflection and presentness.
Valentine’s work has been exhibited in museums, universities, and galleries on five continents, and widely throughout the US. His work is in the permanent loan collection at King’s College, Cambridge (London, UK) as well as the Heintzman Collection, which is pledged to the Peoria Riverfront Museum (Peoria, IL).
Valentine has had solo exhibitions at universities around the US, such as Penn State Altoona (Altoona, PA) and Weber State University (Ogden, UT). In 2023, he had a solo exhibition of his work at the Department of Culture in Dolores, Uruguay. He has attended residencies at The School of Visual Arts, New York; Barac Mannheim Residency in Mannheim, Germany; and Residencia Vatelon in Villa Soriano, Uruguay.
Clark Valentine’s collaborative projects have been exhibited at Melbourne Design Week, in the Terrain Biennial, and in various international museums and universities. He is a founding member of the I Found U Collective – a collective of artists from four continents who work to create international collaborations which investigate the relationship between consciousness and digital space in a globalizing world.

Art Demonstration with Kate Clements

Learn more about Delta Triennial artist Kate Clements and her artistic practice during a free lecture and live artmaking demonstration. Clements will offer attendees a deep dive into her artwork, research, and concepts, then showcase her unique method of working with glass.
Solarium (pictured above) is on view in the Delta Triennial from June 28 – August 25, 2024.
About Kate Clements
Kate Clements constructs delicate and ornate large scale paintings and installations comprised of kiln fused glass panels. Working with frit, a type of crushed glass, she sifts, scatters, and pushes the sugar-like substance on a kiln shelf to form dimensional drawings.
The wafer-thin panels reference naturalistic designs and floral motifs that she uses to explore ideas of beauty, taste, and impermanence. Utilizing the seductive qualities of glass, Clements draws the viewer in, but upon further inspection the work reflects a nervous tension and precariousness that is palpable.
Clements received an MFA in Glass from the Tyler School of Art & Architecture in Philadelphia and a BFA in Painting and Art History from the Kansas City Art Institute.
Her work has been exhibited at the Bellevue Arts Museum (WA), Houston Center of Contemporary Craft (TX), Hunterdon Art Museum (NJ), Philadelphia Art Alliance (PA), Urban Glass (NYC), and S12 Gallery (Norway).
She has been awarded residencies at Studios Inc and the Charlotte Street Foundation in Kansas City, the Museum of Arts and Design in New York City, Pilchuck Glass School, and S12 Gallery in Bergen, Norway. She lives and works in Kansas City.
