Amy Ritter is an artist and educator whose interdisciplinary work explores class dynamics and the American Dream. Her work comprises of sculptural installation, photography, video, and public sculpture. She grew up in the rural town of Orefield, located in Eastern Pennsylvania. For the past 7 years she’s documented mobile home parks (over 100 sites in over 18 states) and interviewed residents. She’s created and exhibited work influenced by these archives built on her own personal history growing up in a double-wide trailer. She’s continuing to visit mobile home parks throughout the United States, systematically archiving with overarching questions around the American Dream, specifically the myth of social mobility and the stigma around manufactured housing.

She’s been awarded numerous residencies and fellowships; selected honors include Fine Arts Work Center, MA (2016), Skowhegan, ME (2016), Lower Manhattan Cultural Council’s Workspace Resident, NY (2017), a fellowship at Yaddo, NY (2020), an Engaging Artist Fellowship at More Art, NY (2021), Anderson Ranch Fellow (2024), SFAI Resident (2025) among others.
