Nancy G. Heller

ONGOING
PROJECTS

Nancy is working primarily on lecture and writing projects concerning women artists and Spanish flamenco dancers.  More specifically, for the rest of this year and the first third of 2025:

She is preparing in-person and Zoom talks about several aspects of the history of women artists, to be presented for The Brazos Forum (an annual arts symposium in Waco, TX), and The Smithsonian Associates in Washington, DC.  Dr. Heller will also lecture on recent trends in flamenco dance– at the 9th Flamenco History and Research Symposium in Albuquerque, New Mexico, and for The Smithsonian Associates.

Spanish Dance Theatre, 1989

Next year she will discuss additional aspects of contemporary flamenco dance at the global meeting of the International Council for Traditions of Music and Dance in Wellington, New Zealand; she is also preparing a survey of contemporary European and U.S. art for The Smithsonian Associates, and a discussion of the female Abstract Expressionist painters (the so-called "9th Street Women"), for the members of Art Goes to School, a nonprofit volunteer organization that brings art appreciation classes to elementary-school children.

     In terms of writing, Nancy is working on two long-term projects:  one book about contemporary Spanish women artists, and another that introduces nonspecialist audiences to flamenco.

Jules Heller, Nancy's father

She is also continuing to work on finding permanent homes for many of the original prints [many seen here on this site] created by her late father, Jules Heller (see julesheller.net for information).
