06ituary
Anative Atlantan, Jenelsie Walden Holloway is nationally known as a visual artist, visual arts educator and arts leader, and is recognized by many for her exemplary contributions to the arts.
Born in 1920, Jenelsie Holloway is the daughter ofAustin T. Walden, civil rights attorney and the city's first Black Judge since reconstruction, and Mary Ellen Denny, music teacher and homemaker from the Mossell family of Philadelpia. The Mossell family included the renowned artist Henry O'Tanner and Sadie T. Alexander, one of the founders of Delta Sigma Theta Sorority. Mrs. Holloway attended Oglethorpe Elementary, Laboratory High, and Washington High Schools. As an art major at Spelman College, under the tutelage of Hale Woodruff and Elizabeth Prophet, Miss Holloway also participated in the student dance theater and was a writer for the Campus Mirror. Upon graduation in 1941, she received a Rosenwald scholarship and was admitted to the Art Institute of Chicago, where she received her MFA degree.After chairing the Art Departments of Prairie View College and Dillard University, Jenelsie Holloway returned to Spelman College in 1952, where she dedicated 38 years of service, teaching traditional, visual arts. She served as the Department chair for two periods: 1952-1963 and 1982-1990. She was married to Charles Holloway Jr. , musician, teacher and member of the Tokye Trio, apopular performing music group based in Atlanta (1960's). Avery active member of the Atlanta Arts community, she was one of the founders of "Black Artists Atlanta" and served as co-chair ofAtlanta Life Insurance Company's committee, initiating its national competition and collection ofAfrican American works of art. Ms. Holloway, whose total career has spanned over 50 years, was a staunch advocate for African American art and artists. She has served on several advisory boards, and been affiliated with numerous professional organizations at the regional and national levels, as well as throughout the Atlanta Arts community.
Mrs. Holloway was also instrumental in the growth and development of several local art galleries, libraries, museums and arts initiatives, such as the Alma Simmons Gallery at Douglas High School, the Hammonds House Galleries, the Auburn Avenue Research Library, the High Museum ofArt, the Atlanta Life Annual Competition/Exhibition, the National Black Arts Festival, the Atlanta Arts Festival at Piedmont Park, and many other major exhibitions and festivals. Besides private collections, her own artworks are part of the Hammonds House, Spelman College and Clark Atlanta University art collections. One of several portraits commissioned in Atlanta is displayed in the Georgia State Capitol. Though a very talented artist, her love of teaching young minds often kept her from her own studio. As a result, she contributed to the success of hundreds of students, some of whom are currently nationally and internationally known artists, art educators, art historians and gallery owners. Jenelsie was a longtime member of Radcliffe Presbyterian Church. She leaves to cherish her memory two
devoted daughters Charnelle and Criste/1 Holloway; a sister, Austella Walden Colley; cousin Mollene Harper Thomas, niece, nephews, and a host of relatives from the Colley, Holloway, Searcy, and Mossell
families.
