Adams Puryear is an interdisciplinary artist, curator and educator who will use funds from the Inspiration Grant to finance his curatorial project Lamplighters, an exhibit of ceramic based lighted objects at Vulpes Bastille in October 2022. The grant will be used to facilitate artist collaboration of over 20 artists and finance associated studio fees and materials, performer fees, gallery hardware and pedestals, as well as posters and postcards. This grant will help support a themed project exhibition at the intersection of art and design and strengthen the arts community by bringing together different groups of artists to create lighted ceramic based artworks.
