About the Juror: Mia Fabrizio

Mia Fabrizio was born in Conshohocken, PA. She received her B.F.A. from Tyler School of Art in 2002 and her M.Ed. from Arcadia University in 2006. She taught art in K–12 classrooms for a dozen years before graduating with her M.F.A. from The School of the Museum of Fine Arts at Tufts University in 2020. An interdisciplinary artist, Fabrizio explores identity and social constructs through her mixed media paintings, sculptures, and installations.

Fabrizio received Montague Travel Research Grant Awards in 2018 and 2019 and the Museum Council Sculpture Prize in 2020. After her 2021 Post-Graduate Teaching Fellowship at SMFA at Tufts University, she was a resident at The Studios at MASS MoCA in North Adams, MA. She served as Sculpture faculty at Maine College of Art & Design in Portland. Shortly after relocating to the greater Philadelphia area, Fabrizio participated in The Philadelphia Residency (2023), sponsored by 12Gates Arts. During the summer of 2025, she was Park Towne Place Artist in Residence and a WCU Clay resident.

Fabrizio’s solo installation A Seat At the Table was featured in the Schmidt Gallery at GoggleWorks Center for the Arts in Reading, PA (spring 2024). In January 2025, her solo installation BLINDSIDED was on view at Chester County Art Association, and she also had an installation, Pull Up A Chair, on view at The Delaware Contemporary as part of their winter/spring exhibition, The Dinner Table. Her work was viewed in several other exhibitions throughout the Greater Philadelphia area, including the group show at Drexel’s Pearlstein Gallery, Contemporary Ruin, Future Vision, and the two-person show at City Art Salon, Emerging Paradox.

Currently, Fabrizio teaches at Delaware County Community College and West Chester University in Pennsylvania and works in her home studio in Downingtown, PA.
