About

Markus Tracy was born in Tokyo, Japan, and raised in Germany, Holland, and the United States. After completing his Bachelor of Fine Arts at the University of New Mexico in Albuquerque, New Mexico and his Master of Fine Arts at Otis College of Design in Los Angeles, California, Tracy emerged as a multidisciplinary artist with a socially engaged practice focusing on murals, installations, and site-specific projects. Along with exhibiting his work nationally, Tracy has been awarded numerous public art commissions, project grants, and artist-in-residencies throughout the United States. As a former program director for the City of Las Vegas Office of Cultural Affairs, his program, New Directions Youth Arts, was a recipient of the Committee on the Arts and the Humanities Coming Up Taller Award in 2010.

As a multidisciplinary artist, Tracy teaches, partners, and consults with schools, communities, state art councils and commissions, municipal agencies, nonprofit organizations, and correctional facilities throughout the United States. He is listed as a teaching artist and multidisciplinary artist in the State Art Councils and Commissions of Nevada, Utah, South Dakota, North Dakota, Tennessee, Arkansas, South Carolina, Mississippi, and for nonprofit organizations such as Animated Democracy–A Program of American for the Arts, Segerstrom Center for the Performing Arts–Arts Teach, and Lifetime Arts Inc.

Program Overview

The residencies that I offer are school and community base mural projects. My lesson plan offers students a chance to explore, research, become inspired, and directly engage in all levels of their school or community mural.
