Lauren Camp’s innovative, award-winning pieces have been in major publications and exhibited in performance spaces, on movie sets, and in cultural centers and museums in the U.S. and Europe. Images of her work and the companion poetry have been featured in numerous publications, including the Santa Fean, Jazziz and World Watch, and the poetry journals Brilliant Corners and Impetus.
Her work is housed in numerous private and public collections: The Sherwin Miller Museum of Jewish Art in Tulsa, Oklahoma; St. Vincent Children’s Hospital of Indiana; and the United States Embassies in Ashgabat, Turkmenistan and Bamako, Mali, among others.
The City of Greeley, Colorado commissioned her to create four large works for the Jesus Rodarte Cultural Center. Kaiser Permanente Hospital in Panorama City, California commissioned three works that reflect the nature of the community, and the value of quality healthcare.
Her 12-year project, a series of jazz portraits entitled “The Fabric of Jazz,” toured museums in ten U.S. cities between January 2004 and September 2007. Other exhibit highlights include the invitational Fiber Art Biennial in Chieri, Italy; the NAACP Annual Meeting, and a human rights survey exhibit entitled “Roots of Racism – Ignorance and Fear.”
She has held residency positions at Working Classroom in Albuquerque, New Mexico and the New Brunswick (New Jersey) Public Schools, working with elementary and high school students from disadvantaged communities, and has mentored adults in creativity and self-expression.
In 2004, the Gaea Foundation of Washington, D.C., an organization that celebrates arts and activism, awarded her a two-month “Sea Change” Residency. The Surface Design Association provided a grant for Lauren to create “Need is a Voice,” one of the largest works in her series, “Flinch: A Study of Your Self.” This series will begin traveling to museums in February 2009.
She is a founding board member of the Southwest Jazz Orchestra, and an audio producer and on-air jazz programmer for public radio station KSFR 101.1 FM. She received first prize in poetry from the Southwest Literary Center’s 2006 New Mexico Discovery Awards, and is frequently invited to read her poems at jazz concerts.
