Sara J. Winston, associate director of the photography program and artist in residence, has been awarded the inaugural Helena Svetla Fund Grant, administered through the Patient Caregiver Artist Coalition (PCAC). PCAC, a Brooklyn-based nonprofit founded by Bard alum Jordan Rathkopf ’02, is dedicated to elevating the voices of patients and caregivers through art and storytelling, fostering empathy and inclusion in healthcare culture. This first grant from the fund supports artists working at the intersection of art and healthcare, and will support the production of Sara's forthcoming monograph, Infusion, to be published by Saint Lucy Books of Baltimore, MD. The book showcases over a decade of self-portraits made during monthly and biannual intravenous medical treatments for Multiple Sclerosis, alongside episodic creative nonfiction writing and an interview between the author and the artist Moyra Davey. Infusion will launch on January 30, 2027, in conjunction with a solo exhibition at CPW Kingston in Kingston, NY.
