artist bio
alison mcnulty
Alison McNulty is an interdisciplinary artist based in Newburgh, NY whose work explores the fragile, entangled nature of our relationship to place, attending to the layered histories of ordinary reclaimed materials, intentionally precarious forms, and sites of relational awareness beyond the human.
In 2022 Alison was a recipient of the Stone & DeGuire Contemporary Art Award from Washington University in St. Louis and the Empowered Artist Award from Arts Mid-Hudson. Her sculptures, architectural interventions, site-responsive indoor and outdoor installations, videos, and works on paper have been presented at museums, galleries, conferences, farms, historic sites, forests, performance spaces, and abandoned sites throughout the US and in Europe.
Recent and up-coming exhibitions include Casa Riegner, Bogota Columbia, Maguire Museum, Philadelphia, Basilica Hudson, Kube Art Center, Woodstock Byrdcliffe Guild, Fridman Gallery Beacon, WAAM Woodstock, PS21 Chatham, NY, International Museum of Contemporary Sculpture, Santo Tirso, Portugal, Art Lot, Brooklyn, and Samuel Dorsky Museum. McNulty attended residencies at Atlantic Center for the Arts and Stoneleaf Retreat, and created House Project, a self-made residency in an abandoned house.
McNulty earned her BFA from Washington University in St. Louis, and received the Alumni Fellowship from the University of Florida, where she completed her MFA. She is currently Gallery Director at Ann St. Gallery in Newburgh, NY and Part-Time Assistant Professor at Parsons School of Design.
