About Our Presenters:
Taylor Johnson is from Washington, D.C. He is the author of Inheritance (Alice James Books, 2020), winner of the 2021 Norma Farber First Book Award from the Poetry Society of America and a 2024 Whiting Award. His work appears in Poetry Magazine, The Paris Review, The Baffler, Scalawag, and elsewhere. Read more.
Jonathan Lyndon Chase is an interdisciplinary artist who works in painting, video, sound, and sculpture to depict queer Black love and community. Rendered through layers of bright, visceral paint, makeup, and glitter, Chase’s figures are suspended in various forms of articulation amidst the backdrop of urban and domestic spaces. These dynamic compositions blend emotional and physical, internal and external states of being to challenge and subvert canonical misrepresentations and exclusion of the Black body.
Vicky Tomayko is an artist and printmaker who lives in Truro, MA. A past Fine Arts Work Center Fellow and the current manager of FAWC’s printshop, she leads workshops for Fellows, facilitates projects, and works to maintain and improve the printmaking experience at FAWC. Tomayko also teaches silkscreen at Cape Cod Community College. Her work can be seen locally at Schoolhouse Gallery in Provincetown.
Both the Stanley Kunitz Common Room and the Hudson D. Walker Gallery meet ADA accessibility standards. If you need help accessing these spaces, please call us at 508-487-9960 ext. 101 before your visit.
This program is funded in part by grants from the Provincetown Tourism Fund, the Arts Foundation of Cape Cod, Massachusetts Cultural Council, Massachusetts Development, and Provincetown Cultural Council, a local agency which is supported by Mass Cultural Council, a state agency.
