About this Event

Julie Wills is an interdisciplinary artist working in sculpture and installation, drawing, text, and intersections between these media. Found materials, especially those drawn from the building trades, are central to her creative practice. She is recipient of an Individual Artist Award (2019) and a Creativity Grant (2023) from the Maryland State Arts Council; the SSG & AC Edwards Fellowship at Virginia Center for Creative Arts; and has been awarded numerous artist residencies including Marble House Project, Cill Rialaig (Ireland), Arteles (Finland), Jentel, PLAYA and The Hambidge Center. Recent solo exhibitions have been presented at Plain Sight in Washington, DC in partnership with the Embassy of Sweden and the European Union National Institutes for Culture; Bloomsburg University; Gettysburg College; Museum of Contemporary Art Arlington, and at numerous other venues. 

Wills is the founder and director of the former China Hutch Projects, a domestic project space for contemporary art located inside her home, and the forthcoming BREAKFRONT, an exhibition space inside her studio. Wills is based in Baltimore and is an Associate Professor of Studio Art at Washington College in Chestertown, Maryland. See more of her work on her website or on Instagram.
