About
Kate Schneider (b. 1980, Cleveland, Ohio) is an artist of settler ancestry living in Tkaronto (Toronto). A lifelong resident of the Great Lakes region, her artistic practice considers her personal and ethical relationship to her home and environment during a time of climate crisis.
She has recently received funding from the MacLaren Art Centre’s John Hartman Award (2020) and the Ontario Arts Council (2023). Kate’s works have been shown extensively throughout North America in such galleries as the Prefix Institute of Contemporary Art (Toronto), Harbourfront Centre (Toronto), Spellerberg Projects (Texas), and the Great Plains Art Museum (Nebraska), and published in numerous books and publications, such as PDN’s Photo Annual, Women Photographers International Archive (WOPHA), and What Makes a Lake by Another Earth Press. Kate’s first book, How to Understand a Rock, was produced through the Penumbra Foundation’s Risograph Publication Residency (2023).
Kate gratefully acknowledges the support of the Chalmers Family Fund administered by the Ontario Arts Council, the Penumbra Foundation, Eureka! House & Press, and the MacLaren Art Centre’s John Hartman Award.
