Tricia Treacy serves as Professor and Chair of the Department of Studio Art at Dartmouth College in Hanover, New Hampshire, bringing over twenty years of experience in art and design education previously held at Appalachian State University, The University of the Arts, University of Delaware, and University of Pennsylvania.
Her academic foundation includes a B.A. from West Virginia University and an M.F.A. from The University of the Arts.
Treacy's creative practice operates at the intersection of print media, installation, and artist books, deliberately blurring boundaries between art and design, craft and technology, human and machine, memory and tradition. Her work extends the book as an art dissemination medium through participatory and interdisciplinary frameworks, often incorporating collaborative methodologies and technological interventions.
Recent projects like The unfolding library (2025) and Poster, performed (2023) reveal evolving trends toward algorithmic collaboration, time-based explorations, and audience participation within book arts. These works consistently investigate privacy thresholds, structural repetition, and environmental patterns using hybrid analog-digital techniques that bridge Roman urban landscapes with contemporary design systems.
Her distinguished recognition includes:
- DesignInquiry Fellow (2015)
- Cynthia Hazen Polsky and Leon Polsky Rome Prize in Design (2017)
Treacy has secured significant research funding including a Center for Craft, Creativity & Design grant for Technographic Workshops and a Hopkins Center Art Integration Grant for Poster, performed. Through courses like Senior Seminar and Printmaking 1-3, she mentors emerging artists while leading departmental initiatives. Her collaborative networks span Shift-lab, The Phonografik Collectivo, and international partnerships with artists like Arzu Ozkal and Denise Bookwalter, with upcoming PST ART performances extending her experimental investigations into algorithmic creativity.
