2025 BLACK BALL PROJECTS MICRO-GRANT RECIPIENT: SUMMER MCCORKLE

Summer McCorkle is an artist whose projects incorporate both still photographs and time based videos and installations. As this year’s micro-grant recipient in the genre of photography, our jury was impressed with her technical skills and artistic eye that she couples with a kind of playfulness to create her compositions, be they still, quasi-still or moving. You can view a sample of Summer McCorkle's work now, and stay tuned for the launch of her online viewing room and an artist’s talk with her this summer. 

Black Ball Projects’ Mission is to serve and support contemporary artists who are underexposed and who have been working diligently on the periphery of the greater art world. Diversity of all kinds, be it gender, racial, or economic, is at the core of the Black Ball Projects organization.
