Visiting Artist Fellowship 2024
Mentoring Young Artists at PBSC
The first-ever Visiting Artist Fellowship launched in 2023, thanks to the Helen M. Salzberg Center for Visual Arts and the Koo Family Art Collaborative Mentorship. The fellowship supports contemporary artists in Palm Beach County who work collaboratively with the College’s Studio Art Program.
In addition, a generous endowment from the Salzberg family allows for one selected artist per year to facilitate exhibitions and mentoring opportunities for Palm Beach State art students.

Denise Treizman, Visiting Artist & Mentor
In February 2024, PBSC welcomed its second visiting artist, Denise Treizman, a Chilean-Israeli artist, currently based in Miami.
Denise's work has been exhibited at Proto Gomez Gallery, New York; Hybrid Art Fair, Madrid; Penn State University, Pennsylvania; LVL3 Gallery, Chicago and many others. Her work was extensively exhibited at the Orlando Museam of Art for the 2023 Florida Prize in Contemporary Art.
Earning an MFA from the School of Visual Arts, New York, Denise is currently a studio resident at Laundromat Art Space in Miami.
Having lived in many densely populated cities - Santiago, London, San Francisco, New York, Haifa and Miami - Denise's practice has stemmed and benefitted from throwaway culture.
Through the fall of 2024, Denise is mentoring three selected young artists: Ashley Beard, Leo Lobo and Anthony Mercado.
Advancing PBSC’s arts program through the fellowship elevates the College’s presence in Palm Beach County’s artistic community. PBSC President Ava Parker recognizes its significance. “With today’s emphasis on STEM and innovative educational technology, it is essential for us to showcase the arts. This fellowship allows us to connect with the community, bringing us together with tremendous value to our mission.”
