About
Maggie Leininger received her B.F.A. from the School of the Art Institute of Chicago and her M.F.A. from Arizona State University. Exploring fibers, performance, sculpture, installation, and other multi-media approaches to making, Leininger is interested in social relationships that define, support, and divide who we are. Working both within and outside of the traditional gallery/museum structure, Leininger often incorporates collaboration with various community entities as a part of her work. Recent exhibitions include Center for Contemporary Arts, Santa Fe NM, Bridgeport Art Center, Chicago, IL, and Spartanburg Art Museum, Spartanburg SC. Leininger has been awarded multiple grants and commissions for socially engaged projects from entities such as Scottsdale Public Art, Scottsdale AZ, Kala Institute, Berkeley CA, and Platte Forum Denver CO.
