Dana Major Art Studio

Dana Majors site-specific installations of studio-made LEDs, repurposed domestic and scientific glass, concrete, crystals, and welded steel explore how perception creates reality, in the surprise of worlds beyond what we usually see. Her 2011 MFA from SAIC follows her BA in Philosophy from DePaul University, and an 18-month arts apprenticeship in St. Petersburg, Russia. Major has taught in the Sculpture Department of the School of the Art Institute of Chicago, and provides accredited studio internships at the undergraduate and graduate levels for students of AICAD member schools, the Association of Independent Colleges of Art and Design. Highlights of her international exhibitions, awards, and art fairs include: Art Basel Miami, Art Expo Chicago, SOFA New York and Chicago, The Kentucky Museum of Art and Craft, Elmhurst Museum of Art, The Archie Bray Foundation, The Santa Fe Art Center, The Pablo Center for the Arts, and the Garfield Park Conservatory. She is a longtime, past exhibiting and award-winning member of the American Craft Council.
