Arts Council Exeuctive Director Wayne Martin and visual artists Marek Ranis and Scott Hazard Cultural Resources Sec. Susan Kluttz and several members of the DCR leadership team attended a reception for the N.C. Arts Council Board and had the opportunity to meet some of the state’s most promising young artists at the Contemporary Art Museum (CAM) last week. The reception honored 15 recipients of the N.C. Arts Council’s prestigious Artist Fellowship Award, now in its 33rd year, whose work is now on display at the Raleigh museum. Some of the artists were on hand to discuss their work; which includes innovative installations, video, multimedia work, painting, pottery and more. The fellowships are given to up-and-coming artists by the Arts Council to support their creative development and foster the creation of new work. Recipients are selected by panels comprised of artists and arts professionals with expertise in the disciplines that the applicants practice. Sec Kluttz, Chief Deputy Sec. Karin Cochran, Arts Council Executive Director Wayne Martin and Arts Council Board Chair Robin Rogers Branstrom all had the unique opportunity to meet the artists while seeing their work on display. The exhibition is open to the general public at CAM Raleigh through April 27 and features pieces from a wide range of media, including sculpture, video and ceramics just to name a few. It is well worth a visit! This blog is related to: N.C. Arts Council Raleigh Sec. Kluttz Sec. Susan Kluttz
