Joyce Dallal is a multi-disciplinary artist based in Los Angeles. Her work encompasses a variety of media from small prints and paintings to large installations and public art. The themes that surface in her work are those of collective and personal history, migration, memory, and the evolution of contemporary cultural identity. A first-generation American born in the Midwest to parents from the Middle East, her work is informed by the experience of navigating and integrating these diverse identities.
Dallal received her MFA from the University of Southern California, then went on to found and direct the Digital Arts Program at El Camino College through 2022. She has exhibited both nationally and internationally, and her sculptures and installations have been commissioned by the city of Pasadena, the Los Angeles Public Libraries, Community Redevelopment Agency, Department of Cultural Affairs, and the Los Angeles International Airport.
She is the recipient of several grants and fellowships, among them an NEA Regional Arts Fellowship in Photography, a Brody Arts Fellowship, and a City of Los Angeles Individual Artist Fellowship (COLA). Her work has been written about and featured in media including Hyperallergic, the Los Angeles Times, Artillery Magazine, and KCET. She currently serves on the executive board of the non-profit arts organization, Inglewood Open Studios.
