Cornish College of the Art's Art Department is proud to present the third Visiting Artist Lecture of our 2026-2027 season, featuring visual artist, Mildred Howard. Mildred Howard (b. 1945, San Francisco, CA) is best known for her multimedia assemblage work and installations. Howard completed her Associates of Arts Degree & Certificate in Fashion Art at the College of Alameda, Alameda, CA in 1977 and received her M.F.A. from Fiberworks Center for the Textile Arts at John F. Kennedy University in Berkeley, CA in 1985. In 2015, she received the Lee Krasner Award in recognition of a lifetime of artistic achievement. She has also been the recipient of the Nancy Graves Grant for Visual Artists (2017), the Joan Mitchell Foundation Award (2004/5), a fellowship from the California Arts Council (2003), the Adaline Kent Award from San Francisco Art Institute (1991), the Douglas G. MacAgy Distinguished Achievement Award at San Francisco Art Institute (2018), and, most recently, Howard received the 2025 Guggenheim Fellowship in Fine Art. In June 2026, a major retrospec-tive of her work opened at the Oakland Museum of California (OMCA). Her large-scale installations have been mounted at: Creative Time in New York, InSITE in San Diego, CA; the Muse-um of Glass in Tacoma, WA; the National Museum of Women in the Arts; the New Museum in New York, the City of Oakland; and the San Francisco Arts Commission and International Airport.
