2026
Danielle Hatch is an interdisciplinary Peruvian American artist based in the Arkansas Ozarks. Born and raised in Southern California, she received her BA in Architecture from Wellesley College and MFA in Spatial Studies from UC Santa Barbara. She currently teaches at the University of Arkansas.
In her site-specific installations, sculptures, and performances, Hatch makes women’s lived experiences and aesthetic interventions into the built environment visible beyond traditionally domestic spaces. She applies the techniques of quilting and other needlework, often on a monumental scale, to create biomorphic designs that contrast the sometimes harsh, inorganic geometry of contemporary architecture.
Hatch is a Creative Capital State of the Art Prize Recipient and has been selected for residencies at MacDowell, Sculpture Space, the Edward Albee Foundation, and the Momentary. Her work has been exhibited across the United States and internationally, including at the 19th Venice Architecture Biennale (2025); the AD\&A Museum in Santa Barbara, California; the Gregg Museum of Art and Design in Raleigh, North Carolina; Crystal Bridges Museum of American Art in Bentonville, Arkansas; Mid-America Arts Alliance’s Culture Lab in Kansas City, Missouri; and the Tephra ICA Arts Festival in Reston, Virginia.
