FACULTY SPOTLIGHT - The UNM College of Fine Arts and the Department of Film & Digital Arts congratulate department administrator and lecturer in film history, Dr. Angela Beauchamp, who was recently a featured speaker at the Franklin D. Roosevelt Presidential Library and Museum in Hyde Park, New York. She spoke about the release of her first book, “Eleanor Roosevelt on Screen: The First Lady’s Appearances in Film and Television, 1932-1962.” The talk was also broadcasted on C-SPAN. The book took about three years to complete and included research from twenty different archival collections. It is available for purchase online at retailers like amazon.com, as well as at Collected Works in Santa Fe.

During the Fall 2024 semester, Professor Beauchamp will be teaching FDMA 326 History of Film I, which examines the history of cinema and important developments in filmmaking from its birth in the 1890s, through the silent era and the invention of synchronized sound, up to the impact of television and the decline of the classic Hollywood studio system in the 1950s. It is a large lecture course required by most Film and Digital Arts majors.

FACULTY SPOTLIGHT - The UNM Department of Art congratulates Scott Anderson, Professor of Painting and Drawing, as the new Interim Chair of the Department of Art. Anderson has also been selected as one of the 2024 Joan Mitchell Fellows. His remarkable work, which explores the tension between external perception and internal experience through abstract representations, has earned him this prestigious recognition.

As a Joan Mitchell Fellow, Scott will receive $60,000 in unrestricted funds over five years, along with opportunities for skills development, peer exchange, and network building. This honor places Scott among 15 talented artists from across the U.S. who are being supported to push the boundaries of their artistic practices. The selection process for this year involved 86 nominators and 154 applications.

Christa Blatchford, Executive Director of the Joan Mitchell Foundation, shared: “Our 2024 Fellows, including Scott Anderson, represent innovative approaches in artmaking. These grants will have a transformative impact on their work and lives.”

The Joan Mitchell Fellowship has awarded $3.6 million directly to artists, providing not only financial support but also invaluable opportunities for workshops, artist exchanges, and coaching.

Anderson stated, "I’m humbled and excited to be included among the 2024 Joan Mitchell Fellowship recipients! Looking forward to honoring such an amazing gift as well as meeting the rest of this year’s cohort. Thank you.”

Congratulations once again to Scott Anderson and all the 2024 Joan Mitchell Fellows!
