Textile artist Julian Jamaal Jones (MFA Photography 2022) was recently named to ArtConnect’s Artists to Watch 2022. The Artists to Watch Prize is a premier award for emerging artists seeking to make their mark in the art world, curated by an international panel of curators and art professionals. Jones merges a range of mediums to express his perspectives around Black identity. His works bridge drawing, sculpture, and textile to memorialize Black culture. In addition, he communicates through the historical language of African American quilting by implementing abstract forms and vibrant colors to open a conversation around his Black experience.
Jones received the prestigious Museum Purchase Award from Cranbrook Art Museum in 2022. His works are in the permanent textile collections of Cranbrook Art Museum and Richmond Art Museum.
