iMOCA will host the exhibition, Fast Forward featuring the current work of past Efroymson Contemporary Arts fellows: Linda Adele Goodine, Emily Kennerk, Arthur Liou, Anthony Luensman, Brose Partington, Jamie Pawlus, Melissa Pokorny, Jennifer Reeder, Tyson Skross, and Tom Torluemke.

It was a difficult but exciting task for curator Paula Katz. “Ultimately, it was a balance of selecting at least one recipient from each cohort of awardees and artists we may not have seen on display recently in Indianapolis or in gallery settings,” said Katz.

Now in its 7th year, the Efroymson Contemporary Arts Fellowships were established to increase public awareness of contemporary art.  The intent of the fellowship is to reward creativity and encourage emerging and established individual artists by supporting their artistic development.  Since 2004, $700,000 has been awarded to 35 individual contemporary artists in Indiana, Illinois, Kentucky and Ohio.  The Efroymson Fellowships are made possible with support from the Efroymson Family Fund, a fund of Central Indiana Community Foundation.

The 2011 fellowship recipients will be listed at the opening reception after being announced on December 1.
