Mildred Howard
is a prolific mixed media and installation
artist whose work draws on a wide range
of historical and contemporary experiences.
Her installations, composed of iconic
objects from the past, are symbols for
the way in which we construct memory
and form racial, familial and cultural
history. Mildred continuously experiments
with the concept of environments- both
those within and those beyond the gallery
space. She has received numerous awards
including the Anonymous Was a Woman
Fellowship; an NEA grant in sculpture;
the Eureka Fellowship; a Rockefeller
Artists Fellowship to Bellagio, Italy;
and a Lila Wallace Reader's Digest Traveling
Fellowship to Oaxaca, Mexico. Her work
is included in the collections of the
Oakland Museum; the San Jose Museum
of Art; the Wadsworth Athenaeum, Hartford,
Connecticut; the Washington State Art
Commission; and the San Francisco Arts
Commission. Mildred has also served
as an arts administrator with the California
Arts Council and the San Francisco Exploratorium.
