Kirsten Furlong, BFA 95

Kirsten has received the Alexa Rose Fellow, a $25,000 artistic merit award. Chosen from hundreds of applicants, Furlong was chosen for her sophisticated and multi-layered work that educates and invites the audience to engage more deeply. Known for her more two-dimensional pieces, Furlong also has sculpture and fiber-based pieces that audiences connect deeply to. Sun Valley Museum of Art Curator Courtney Gilbert feels there is no limit to what Furlong can explore through the Alexa Rose Fellowship. “I have worked with artists from across the country and around the world, and the quality of Kirsten’s work equals that of many nationally known artists.” More information can be found at 2025 Alexa Rose Fellow: KIRSTEN FURLONG
