Caldwell Arts Council
in Lenoir, NC, Features Exhibition by Penland Residency Artists
The Caldwell Arts Council in Lenoir, NC, will be featuring an
exhibition of works by Penland School of Craft Resident Artists,
from Mar. 5 - 26, 2004.
The exhibition features works by: Cristina Cordova, figurative
clay; Greg Fidler, glass; Ann Marie Kennedy, handmade paper; Marc
Maiorana, blacksmithing; IlaSahai Prouty, glass; and Jerilyn Virden,
hand built clay.
The Penland School Resident Artist Program seeks to enrich the
total educational experience at Penland by providing a stimulating,
supportive environment for artists at transitional points in their
careers. Penland resident artists are full-time, self-supporting
craftspeople who live and work at the school for three years.
The resident program was founded in 1963 by Bill Brown, Penland's
second director. It creates an opportunity for craft artists to
hone their skills, to develop markets, to experiment, to develop
new work, or possibly to move from a career in teaching to one
of full-time making. It allows participants to explore a transitional
time in an atmosphere of learning and community, where they may
choose to interact with the hundreds of studio artists, teachers,
and students who pass through the school each year. It also provides
students with models for a life in craft.
