ARTIST TALK: Alison Croney Moses
July 5, 2025 @ 11:00 am - 1:00 pm
Join us for a PERSPECTIVES Artist Talk with Alison Croney Moses, recipient of the 2024 Black Mountain College International Artist Prize. This event will take place at BMCM+AC, and is free and open to all, no registration required.
Boston-based artist Alison Croney Moses creates wooden objects that reach out to your senses—the smell of cedar, the color of honey or the deep blue sea, the round form that signifies safety and warmth, the gentle curve that beckons to be touched.
Born and raised in North Carolina by Guyanese parents, making clothing, food, furniture, and art is embedded in her memories of childhood. She carries these values and habits into adulthood and parenting—creating experiences, conversations, and educational programs that cultivate the current and next generation of artists and leaders in art and craft.
Alison Croney Moses’s work is in the collections of the Museum of Fine Arts Boston, Museum of Fine Arts Houston, and Renwick Gallery of the Smithsonian American Art Museum. She holds an MA in Sustainable Business & Communities from Goddard College, and a BFA in Furniture Design from Rhode Island School of Design. She is a recipient of the 2023 Boston Artadia Award, the 2022 USA Fellowship in Craft, and a finalist of the 2024 LOEWE FOUNDATION Craft Prize. She was named one of the 2023 WBUR 10 Makers. Her work has been featured in American Craft Magazine and Boston Art Review. In the Fall of 2023, her first solo was reviewed in the Boston Globe. Most recently, she was a recipient of the ICA Boston’s 2025 James and Audrey Foster Prize. Croney Moses debuted her first public art installation at the Boston Public Art Triennial, which is on view until the end of October 2025.
