Bryn Jackson is a Filipino-American artist and curator based in Indianapolis. Jackson’s practice — grounded in ecological justice and institutional accountability — positions nature as a medium to confront complex histories and foster connectivity. As an interdisciplinary artist, he unites sculpture, photography, time-based media, arts administration, community engagement, and habitat design to produce works that address inequality in the arts, environmental degradation, and social injustice.
Bryn received a BFA from New York University’s Tisch School of the Arts and an MFA from the School of the Art Institute of Chicago. His work is nationally recognized and has been supported by the Arts Council of Indianapolis, Lilly Endowment Inc., Central Indiana Community Foundation, Allen Whitehill Clowes Charitable Foundation, Herbert Simon Family Foundation, Arts Midwest, and the National Endowment for the Arts. Bryn is a 2023 recipient of a Power Plant Grant, awarded by Big Car Collaborative and funded by the Andy Warhol Foundation for the Visual Arts’ Regional Regranting Program. He is an Artist & Public Life Resident with Big Car Collaborative and is a part of Artists At Work's 2025 cohort. He is an inaugural member of The Association of Art Museum Curators’ Professional Alliance for Curators of Color, and he currently serves on the Board of Directors and as Chair of the Collections Council for the Eiteljorg Museum and on the Board of Directors for Step-Up Inc.
