Stacy Scibelli is a textile and clothing artist interested in the transformative nature of cloth and costume. Her work looks to subvert industrial fashion practices by creating objects which challenge and alter consumer behavior. Stacy’s experience participating as an Artist in Residence at Mass MOCA, Santa Fe Art Institute, the Boston Center for the Arts, and Vermont Studio Center, has generated a vested interest in communal art making and residency programming. Additionally, as an original founding member of The Shirey in Brooklyn, Stacy has cultivated a passion for collective art spaces and the connections made through sharing the sacred space of intentional making and meaningful work.
Stacy travels with students internationally regularly, facilitating service learning through institutions and companies such as Rustic Pathways, sharing her passion for exploration and learning through positive action and responsible education. She is a recipient of a Mass MOCA Assets for Artists grant, a Franklin Furnace Grant, and a project grant from Possible Futures in Atlanta GA. Stacy has exhibited at Field Projects, Proof Gallery, Present Company, and The Parlour Bushwick in Brooklyn, the Danforth Art Museum, and the Torrance Art Museum in Los Angeles, in addition to performing at Dixon Place, the Slipper Room, and various other venues. Stacy was Artist in Residence at Arts, Letters, and Numbers in Averill Park NY, the Vermont Studio Center, and the Santa Fe Art Institute as part of the Labor Residency cohort.
