JUROR Holland Tredwell
Founder & Executive Director of Emerge Foundation for Contemporary Art
Holland Tredwell emerged into the art world at a young age. She grew up in a diverse environment surrounded by several of the country's most distinguished artists and experimentalists. She has worked with some of the best influencers and mentors in the art world. Through fortuitous events, her mentors have included Andy Warhol, Jasper Johns, Robert Indiana, Jean-Michel Basquiat, Robert Rauschenberg, Jamie Wyeth, and legendary Art Dealer Leo Castelli.
She is the Founder of the Portsmouth Museum of Fine Art, where she utilized her strong ties to the art world to create a new art museum and educational institution in an environment that became a compelling center of contemporary art and culture. She believes that the arts, artists, and the institutions that support them play pivotal roles in promoting broad civic engagement and creating more open societies. The power of the arts is needed to bring about needed positive change in the world.
Tredwell has been involved in five successful start-up companies in Science, Technology, and the Arts- in both the private and non-profit arenas. She is the founder of the Portsmouth Museum of Fine Art, The Antaya Foundation for Science and Technology as well as the Emerge Foundation for Contemporary Art. She serves on the Advisory Board at the Merchants House Museum NYC-New York Historical Society.
'Passionate for the Arts and Culture, I am dedicated to advancing and enriching the cultural landscape by empowering the creation of art and exhibitions beyond intrinsic value.'
