Koerner Artist in Residence program paints a path to success
Fine Art (Visual Art) students in the Faculty of Arts and Science had an opportunity to learn from and be inspired by professional artist and this year카지노 게임 컬렉션s Koerner Artist in Residence Zachari Logan, a Canadian artist working mainly with large-scale drawing, ceramics, and installation. His work is found in many collections, including the National Gallery of Canada, the Art Gallery of Ontario, and the McMichael Canadian Art Collection.
His residencies include Vienna's Museums Quartier MQ21 AiR Program, the International Studio and Curatorial Program in Brooklyn (ISCP), Wave Hill Botanical Gardens Winter Workspace Program in the Bronx, NY, the Liberty-ARC residency program in rural Tennessee, among many others.
The unique opportunity was made possible thanks to a significant gift from The Michael and Sonja Koerner Charitable Foundation. The foundation recently made a generous donation to ensure that the popular Koerner Artist in Residence Program will be funded in perpetuity and continue to develop Canada카지노 게임 컬렉션s next generation of artists.
"This has been a highly successful residency for the past 20 years, offering close mentorship and teaching to undergraduate visual arts students from some of Canada카지노 게임 컬렉션s most talented artists,카지노 게임 컬렉션 said Michael Koerner, LLD카지노 게임 컬렉션13. 카지노 게임 컬렉션Sonja and I are truly pleased that, through the endowment, arts students will continue to benefit from a strong education and an enriched artistic life at Queens.카지노 게임 컬렉션
The program provides students with unique access to mentorship from a top emerging Canadian artist each year. The residency involves a mix of classroom activities, studio time, one-to-one critiques, and opportunities to build relationships with students, faculty members, and community artists.
카지노 게임 컬렉션These artists are role models for the students and offer the students different career options they can explore post degree,카지노 게임 컬렉션 says Gordon E. Smith, Vice-Dean in the Faculty of Arts and Science and Interim Director, Bachelor of Fine Art (Visual Art) Program. 카지노 게임 컬렉션This generous gift from The Michael and Sonja Koerner Foundation secures the residency in perpetuity and will continue to be a highlight of the academic year. It enriches the student experience and is a distinguishing feature of studio art at Queen카지노 게임 컬렉션s. The residency is a key part of the recruitment of future students.카지노 게임 컬렉션
Dr. Smith adds selecting diverse artists is important to the students and says they look at gender, race, sexual identity and where the artists are located before making their choice. 카지노 게임 컬렉션This is important with the current focus on Equity, Diversity, Inclusion and Indigeneity at Queen카지노 게임 컬렉션s and it also resonates with the students.카지노 게임 컬렉션
The residency, as with many other programs on campus, faced a variety of challenge as the result of the ongoing pandemic. Despite some early reservations, the program went ahead and was possibly one of the most successful ever.
카지노 게임 컬렉션As someone with a fairly monastic practice, it was quite wonderful to open my studio up to both the students and faculty of Queen카지노 게임 컬렉션s,카지노 게임 컬렉션 says Logan, who is currently situated in Regina, Saskatchewan. 카지노 게임 컬렉션As the residency had to be augmented due to COVID-19, everything was administered online. This offered both challenges and opportunities and overall was in my estimation a huge success. I certainly gained a huge sense of energy and revitalization in my own physical space. I hope the students gained the fresh eyes of someone new to their work with a perspective that might assist or affect further research and intellectual exploration.카지노 게임 컬렉션
Logan also talks about the funding for the Koerner Artist in Residence Program and how important it is, not just to Queen카지노 게임 컬렉션s and the Fine Art (Visual Art) program but to Kingston as well. 카지노 게임 컬렉션This residency brings in and connects artists from across the country to Queen카지노 게임 컬렉션s and the Agnes Etherington in a way that would not be possible without the generous support of The Michael and Sonja Koerner Charitable Foundation.카지노 게임 컬렉션
