Evelyn Donnelly

Evelyn Donnelly is an artist based in New York and Seattle whose work explores performance and social exchange in institutions, casual settings, and unauthorized spaces. She builds wearable works, sets, and soundscapes for collaborative performances, and her lectures often use repetition and wordplay. She was a 2017 Visual Arts resident at Pioneer Works, where she was listed among the spring session residents. Donnelly holds a BA from Bard College and an MFA from the University of California, San Diego. She has acted as an agent of The Bureau for the Future of Choreography since 2011 and has received several grants and fellowships, including a 2014 residency at the Lower Manhattan Cultural Council Process Space and a 2014 Dinning & Main Fellowship at the Banff Centre for the Arts.
