Bio: Millicent Young is a studio artist focusing on sculpture, installation, and projects merging sound, poetry, and movement. Young (b.1958, NYC) attended the Dalton School on scholarship (1962-1976). Her study of visual art, craft, music, and poetry at Dalton and in the museums and streets of the city formed the foundation of her broad art education. Cross cultural childhood experiences, witnessing the impacts of poverty, the diversity of her family background, and her immersion in rural lifeways and wilderness were formative influences on Young’s social ecological conscience and citizenship. Young went on to study at Wesleyan University, University of Virginia (BA 1984), University of Denver, and James Madison University (MFA 1997).
