Art & the Environment Residency:
Trash Talkin’ Teens
In July 2007 thirty-six middle school students from the area took part in a week-long intensive artist residency lead by professional artist Bryant Holsenbeck and science specialist Lisa Wear. Students practiced a variety of studio techniques and ideas involving the use of recycled materials. On the final day the students incorporated their works into Holsenbeck’s WILD Life installation in the Woodson Gallery.
The residency included a full day visit to Catawba College’s Center for the Environment with a site-specific environmental art project, a tour of the nature preserve, a tour of the green facility, and even—beetle races! Students also visited Spenzenelli’s coffee shop to “get juiced” and visit with a professional artist. The residency—free to students— was made possible through the support of Fisher Realty, Inc., the Carrol Fisher Construction Company, and the Hitachi Foundation.
