About Our Speakers
Cleyvis Natera is an award-winning author, essayist, and critic. Her debut novel, Neruda on the Park, was a New York Times Editor’s Choice and was awarded a Silver Medal by the International Latino Book Awards for Best First Book of Fiction. Natera’s second novel is The Grand Paloma Resort. Natera has received awards, fellowships and artist residencies from the Vermont Studio Center, Bread Loaf Writers’ Conference, PEN America, Virginia Center for the Creative Arts, and Hermitage Artist Retreat, among others.
Megan Hinton is a painter known for reconfiguring genres of landscape, figurative, and object painting. Her art utilizes painting’s historic content and technique with found and discarded material to investigate line, color, shape, surface, and scale. This fusion of content and material further defines Hinton as a collagist and sculptor with interdisciplinary practices in installation, photography, and printmaking. In 2024 Provincetown Art Association and Museum honored Hinton with the prestigious annual Award for Artistic Excellence. Hinton holds an MFA in Interdisciplinary arts from Mills College where she won the Hung Lui Painting Prize. She has received residency fellowships from Twenty Summers in Provincetown and The Frans Masereel Centrum in Belgium. She is a recipient of the Alice C. Cole ‘42 Merit Grant from Wellesley College. Hinton is also an art educator, curator, and writer.
