Amanda Lovelee (she/her/hers)

US Cultural Policy Fellow
Stanford University
Minneapolis, Minnesota

Amanda Lovelee is a civic and environmentally focused artist working as Cultural Policy Fellow at Stanford University. Through the fellowship she is focused on art and climate with residencies at CIRCLE, MN Pollution Control, NYC Parks Department of Natural Resources, and State of CA Office of Land Use and Innovation. Her public practice operates at the intersection of science, civic engagement, and systems change, using play and joy as methodological tools to invite broad public participation in climate-focused projects. Her work creates space for both grief and joy as necessary emotional conditions for collective reflection and movement toward action. She collaborates with governmental agencies and cross-sector partners, including scientists, planners, arborists, and water resource managers, on large-scale public art projects. She holds an MFA in Visual Studies from the Minneapolis College of Art and Design and a BFA in Photography from the University of Hartford, and her work has been supported by the National Endowment for the Arts, ArtPlace America, the Knight, Jerome, and McKnight Foundations, the Minnesota State Arts Board, and Salzburg Global Seminar.
