Upon graduation from Columbia University,

Jill Bonovitz taught children with special

needs in New York City. She moved back to

her hometown of Philadelphia, and studied at

Moore College of Art & Design. In 1974 with

four other Moore-affiliated artists, Bonovitz

founded The Clay Studio, an institution that

has become a vital and material ceramic arts

center and plays a key role promoting the

medium and the work of emerging artists

worldwide.

Bonovitz’s practice started in clay where her

porcelain works explored the intersections

of line, shape, translucency and aestheticism.

Later in her career, she experimented with

wire, and now works with both me-

dia. Bonovitz has been in both solo and

group exhibitions nationally and internation-

ally, including: the Honolulu Museum of Art (2018), Hermitage State Museum, St. Peters-

burg, Russia (2014), and Santa Monica Muse-

um of Art (2005). Her work is included in

the collections of The Hermitage Museum,

Philadelphia Museum of Art, Stedelijk Muse-

um in Amsterdam, among others.

She and her husband Sheldon were early

collectors in the field of Outsider Art, and in

2013 donated more than 200 works to the

Philadelphia Museum of Art. Bonovitz has

served on the boards of the Merce Cunning-

ham Dance Company and The Clay Studio

and she is currently vice president of The

Fabric Workshop and Museum.

June Kelly is the owner and director of June

Kelly Gallery in the historic SoHo district of

New York City. Established in 1987, the

gallery specializes in contemporary paintings,

drawings, sculpture and photography by

emerging, mid-career and established artists.

The gallery was elected to membership in the

prestigious Art Dealers Association of Amer-

ica in 1996, and exhibits periodically in the

annual ADAA art show.

Before opening the gallery, Kelly managed

the career of artist Romare Bearden for 13

years until his death in 1988. She presented

on Bearden at a 2004 National Gallery of Art

event, and in 2005 at the Metropolitan Muse-

um of Art with jazz critic and author Albert

Murray. In 2006, Kelly organized an exhibi-

tion of artist Hughie Lee-Smith’s works at

the Governor’s Mansion, Tallahassee, FL, and hosted the first solo exhibition of paintings

and watercolors by Nobel Prize–winning

poet, playwright and essayist Derek Walcott.

A board trustee of Pratt Institute, Kelly re-

ceived the 2006 Lifetime Achievement Award

by The Black Alumni of Pratt. She also won

The Pen and Brush’s 2004 June Jordan award,

and is a member of the Fine Arts Work Cen-

ter in Provincetown, the ArtTable, Inc. and

Women’s Forum Inc. Kelly received a BS

from New York University and did post-

graduate art history work at Hunter College.

Paula Scher is one of the most acclaimed

graphic designers in the world. She has been

a principal in the New York office of the

distinguished international design consultancy

Pentagram since 1991, where she has de-

signed identity and branding systems, envi-

ronmental graphics, packaging and publica-

tions for a wide range of clients including

Citibank, Microsoft, Bloomberg, Shake Shack,

Museum of Modern Art, Tiffany & Co., The

High Line, The Public Theater, Metropolitan

Opera, Sundance Institute and the Philadel-

phia Museum of Art.

She is a recipient of the National Design

Award for Communication Design, the AIGA

medal, and the Chrysler Award for Innova-

tion in Design, among others. Scher served

on the Public Design Commission of the City

of New York from 2006–2015. She has de-signs in the permanent collections of the

Museum of Modern Art, the Cooper Hewitt

National Design Museum, the Library of

Congress, the Victoria and Albert Museum

and other institutions.

Scher is the author of Make It Bigger

(Princeton Architectural Press, 2002), MAPS

(Princeton Architectural Press, 2011) and

Works (Unit Editions, 2017). She holds a BFA

from the Tyler School of Art and a Doctor of

Fine Arts Honoris Causa from the Corcoran

College of Art and Design, the Maryland

Institute College of Art and Moore College

of Art & Design. A documentary on Scher

and her work can be seen as part of the 2017

Netflix series Abstract: The Art of Design.

MEET THE 2019

VISIONARY WOMAN AWARDS HONOREES

The Visionary Woman Awards are presented to women who have had major impacts in their fields, ex-

emplifying excellence in the visual arts and design, arts advocacy or philanthropy. Awardees spend a day at

Moore speaking and meeting with students and faculty over lunch and in the classrooms or studios. They

share their insights and experiences with the public in the free Elizabeth Greenfield Zeidman Lecture. A tick-

eted evening gala event brings 250 guests to Moore to honor the awardees and to support scholarships for

our undergraduate students in the Visionary Woman Honors Program.

The Visionary Woman Honors Program is a select program developed for highly ambitious, motivated,

reflective and independent-minded students who want to enrich their Moore experiences both inside and

outside the classroom. Students admitted to the four-year program receive a scholarship up to $22,000 per

year and participate in a leadership or academic pathway to enhance their professional and personal develop-

ment. They attend special seminars and conferences, participate in intern- and externships with community

organizations and companies and shadow mentors. Students on the academic pathway complete a thesis

project.

The power of the Visionary Woman Honors scholarship is undeniable. A recent Moore alumni and current

student survey of Visionary Woman scholars found that more than 85 percent felt Moore helped them to

take risks, effectively communicate about their art and succeed in the creative workforce
