Morgan Craig has exhibited throughout the U.S.A., Canada, and Europe including OK Harris in New York City, SPACES in Cleveland, the Delaware Center for Contemporary Arts and Murray State University in the bluegrass state of Kentucky. Wexler Gallery in Philadelphia, and Lawrence Asher Gallery in Los Angeles, currently represent him.

At the beginning of 2006, Craig received the Pennsylvania Council on the Arts Individual Grant. During the summer, he was a resident at the Bemis Center for the Contemporary Arts in Omaha, Nebraska. Winter of 2006/2007 brought with it Scope Miami, and solo exhibitions at both the University of Wisconsin, and Lawrence Asher Gallery. Craig has been featured in both Harper’s Magazine and American Art Collector Magazine. His work has also been in 3 editions of New American Paintings, including the MFA Annual.

In the spring of 2007, Craig had a solo exhibit at the City Arts Center in Oklahoma City, Oklahoma. In the summer of 2007, he was awarded a Macdowell Colony Fellowship, and a residency at the Eastern Frontier Educational Foundation on Norton Island, ME. For the centennial celebration at the Macdowell Colony, Craig was one of 5 colonists featured on the Evening News Hour with Jim Lehrer on PBS. He was also included in a show showcasing 100 years of painting at Macdowell.

In the fall/winter of 2007/2008, Craig received an Elizabeth Greenshields Foundation Grant, a Ruth Chenven Foundation Grant, a George Sugarman Foundation Grant, as well as the Pennsylvania Council on the Arts Individual Grant for a second time in a row-the grant is offered to painters every even year. Craig used these funds, to further his research and projects, when he attended a 3-month residency, February through April 2008, awarded to him in Prague, Czech Republic at the Open Studios/Skolska 28. In the summer of 2008, he was invited to a residency in Slovenia.

This past March Craig had a solo show at the Wexler Gallery in Philadelphia, showcasing work derived from his research in Eastern Europe. He was awarded a two-month residency, which commenced in August at the Atelje Stundars in Vaasa, Finland. He has also been awarded a Pollock-Krasner Grant for 2009. In 2010, he will be journeying to Trondheim, Norway to begin a residency at the LKV. He is also in the midst of coordinating a residency at the ASCL Art Commune in Yerevan, Armenia. Craig has been granted a visiting artist fellowship at the Australian National University in Canberra, Australia for September of 2010.

Craig’s intent is to continue to broaden his concept of lost and found time through semiotics: his paintings being the sign or symbol. The French author Marcel Proust once said that “painters” were the most capable, when it came to “representing reality:” the fiction we claim to have lived. May this trajectory of whimsy live on.
