About the Bronson Fellowship
In August 1990 Northwest artist Bonnie Bronson died in a climbing accident. Bronson, whose accomplishments included painting, fabric design, welded and painted steel collages, and enamel on steel wall sculptures, as well as video production and gardening as an art form, had been a powerful force in the Northwest art community. The Bonnie Bronson Fellowship was founded in 1991 by friends who wished to honor her memory with an award furthering the development of an artist living in Oregon or Washington. The fellowship gives special emphasis to sculptors and women artists.
David Eckard, whose sculptures will be on display at The Art Gym at Marylhurst University in fall 2011, was the 2010 Bronson Fellow.
Other Bronson Fellows:
Paul Sutinen, director of Marylhurst's art programs (2005)
Carolyn King, BFA alum (1996)
