Greensboro Project Space Presents its Inaugural Cohort for its new Student Residency Program

Summer Studios: Arts on Site!

Closing Open House: Friday, August 11th | 6-8P

Designed to support UNCG undergraduate student artists (BA + BFA) striving to develop, adapt, and/or reinvent their creative process and to promote artistic growth and development, artists are afforded two-weeks of uninterrupted research and development, coupled with financial support and public presentational platforms to share their creative work.

The students selected represented those proposals who best considered how to use this residency as a way to work towards new or expanded approaches in their making practices. We are pleased to accept the following artists into this summer’s program and to contribute to new directions in their artistic practice.

Session #2 Artists in Residence (August 1-12, 2023)

Christina Hall (she/her; photography) will experiment with building sculptures out of natural materials sourced nearby GPS and, in the community, and pair these sculptures with photographs drawing attention to the environmental issue of plastic bag litter.

Jasper Rutledge (he/him; painting) will begin a body of paintings and mixed-media works addressing themes of identity and belonging, particularly as a queer person who grew up in the American South.

Ashe Smith (she/they; sculpture/ceramics) will create a space that can be healing, by working with found objects from nearby GPS and the community to create an installation that focuses on anxieties and mental illness.

Abigail Weatherholtz (she/her; painting) will explore the collaboration of traditional fine arts and sewing crafts in the context of couture as a painter, working towards the possibility of creating garments made from paintings – a three-dimensional canvas for (semi-) practical wear.

*Note: the gallery will not be open during regular public hours  these two weeks; the gallery will only be open during the above dates/times for public engagement events

This student opportunity was made possible by our Founding Sponsor, Maggie Triplett.
