Joyce J. Scott is a mixed-media sculptress who constructs sophisticated bead sculptures incorporating glass, clay, fabric swatches, and found objects that address social topics including racism, violence, and gender inequality. Her work scales from a human-worn neckpiece to a ceiling-high installation. Her work has been exhibited over sixty times in the U.S. as well as Europe, Africa, and Asia.
A lifelong Maryland native, Scott incorporates her family narratives into her art. While teaching in South Africa, Mexico, and Italy, she applied local aesthetic in her work. “My influences are generally cultural,” says Scott. “For me it’s important to impute the work with something that will resonate and follow somebody home.”
Joyce J. Scott is an active leader in Baltimore, promoting creative spaces for the local community. “There was also the fact of seeing black people in the museum – not only as guards and maintenance workers, but also showing their work, working in the education department, the curatorial department, hanging out, part of the community. It’s got to be more of a collective experience. That’s important,” says Scott.
Scott holds a bachelor of fine arts from Maryland Institute College of Art, and a master of fine arts from the Instituto Allende in Mexico. She has received honors from the National Endowment of the Arts, the Smithsonian American Art Museum, 2016 Baker Artist Awards, and most recently a 2016 MacArthur Fellowship. She has exhibited at the Museum of Fine Arts, Boston, the Metropolitan Museum of Art, the Museum of Applied Arts in Helsinki, and the Meguro Museum of Art in Tokyo.
Wayne Strattman received the first PhD by published papers from the University of Sunderland in glass and the neon arts. The PhD recognized his many years of work making sculptures, doing research, writing, and advocating for neon and other advanced forms of lit glass sculpture.
His Boston-based company, Strattman Design, has been a world leader for decades in building museum displays, custom sculpture, and innovative lighting products for commerce and industry.
Strattman is a former Glass Art Society board member. In support of the organization, he initiated and endowed the Strattman Critical Dialogue Lecture series, co-funded the Technology Advancing Glass (TAG) grant program, and started and helped to maintain neon exhibitions at GAS conferences since 1997.
The Glass Art Society honors and acknowledges the individuals who have made outstanding contributions to the development of the glass arts worldwide. This honorary award is given at the annual conference.
