Art professor awarded 2022 Guggenheim Fellowship
The Guggenheim Memorial Foundation has awarded a 2022 fellowship to Anna Sew Hoy: associate professor and area head of Ceramics at UCLA Arts.
"Anna Sew Hoy, associate professor of art at the UCLA School of the Arts and Architecture, has been chosen to receive a fellowship from the John Simon Guggenheim Memorial Foundation.
Created in 1925 by Simon and Olga Guggenheim in memory of their son John Simon Guggenheim, the foundation has offered fellowships to individuals in pursuit of scholarship in any field of knowledge and creation in any art form.
Sew Hoy, who is the area head of ceramics in the school, is inspired by clay’s history as a material for making ritual and functional objects. Her sculptures reflect people’s encounters with things, such as wearing of one’s favorite sweater, to the contemplation of an object on a pedestal. " — UCLA Newsroom, April 11, 2022
