Jones Artist Awards 2025

"I think that artists are called to the work they do because they want to tell a story - whether that story is about themselves, or what they have experiences or know about the world. That is the core of human connection," said Bao-Long Chu, Program Director for Arts & Culture and Greenspaces.

Through the 2025 Jones Artist Awards program, we were honored to connect with nine exceptional artists and learn from their stories. Congratulations once more to Melissa Aytenfisu, Lotus Bermudez, Bradley Kerl, Carolina Otero, Anat Ronen, Abbie Preston Edmonson, Jamie Sterling Pitt, and Richard Poe. Watch the video below to see how the program impacted their work.
