Bio
Jason Lord is an interdisciplinary artist, designer, and educator working in the American South. He grew up in a working-class, Catholic family in rural Vermont, where he inherited the experimental resourcefulness of the small town tinker, inventing and building objects, images, and worlds out of humble materials.
After 30 years of experience as a multidisciplinary artist, designer, performer, and arts educator, Jason possesses a wide range of competencies.
He utilizes an expansive toolbox of materials, processes, and strategies for thinking and making, engaging in rigorous conceptual, material, and procedural experimentation through drawing, installation, painting, print, sculpture, assemblage, book arts, social practice, music composition and performance, writing, sound, video, photography, and their many intersections.
Jason has been the recipient of a McColl Center Residency, the Snapdragon Fund Project Grant, a Vermont Studio Center Fellowship, the Windgate Distinguished Fellowship for Innovation in Craft from the Hambidge Center, a Winter Residency Fellowship at Penland School of Craft, a North Carolina Arts Council Artist Support Grant, a CERF+ Grant, a National Gallery of Art Teaching Fellowship, and funded residencies at the Peter Bullough Foundation, the Virgina Center for the Creative Arts, and LEVEL Retreat. He has exhibited in numerous group and solo shows and taught classes and workshops to K-12 students, undergraduates, and adult learners in schools, museums, and art centers. He holds a BFA in Studio Art from the University of North Carolina-Chapel Hill and an MFA in Studio Arts from the University of North Carolina-Greensboro.
