Jennie C. Jones

29th Heinz Award for the Arts
December 17, 2024

Jennie C. Jones, sonic and visual artist, received the 29th Heinz Award for the Arts in 2024 for her works of painting, collage, sculpture and sound that engage with the history of American modernism and minimalism while investigating avant-garde music of the same era. Through her innovative approach to object-making, she often paints on acoustic panels that in their industrial use, are designed to absorb sound. These deeply contemplative, multidimensional compositions invite audiences to be present for and sit with connections to sights, space, history and sound.
