Tri-State Sculptor's Conference Held at Appalachian State University in Boone, NC, on Nov. 3-6, 2005
The Tri-State Sculptor's Association, an organization formed in 1978 by sculptors from North Carolina, South Carolina and Virginia to promote public awareness and appreciation of sculpture and to exchange ideas and information among its members, will hold their annual conference at Appalachian State University in Boone, NC, from Nov. 3-6, 2005. The Tri-State Sculptor's Conference brings together student artists, emerging artists and art educators from across the Southeastern United States to participate in lectures, demonstrations and workshops to enhance their careers as artists.
Appalachian's Department of Art has partnered with the Turchin Center for the Visual Arts to host the 2005 conference. This conference, entitled Redefining Space, was designed to "stretch" the vision of these regional students and artists by presenting contemporary sculpture with particular emphasis placed on work investigating new technologies, materials and concepts. The Department of Art has organized exhibitions of work by both student and professional artists that are currently on display in the Catherine J. Smith Gallery in Farthing Auditorium and Looking Glass Gallery in Plemmons Student Union. Outdoor works are installed throughout the campus and community. The Turchin Center has curated a series of sculpture exhibitions and has developed programming designed around the conference theme, which will be open to the public beginning Nov. 4, 2005.
Conference Chair Robin Martindale, on faculty
with Appalachian's Department of Art, has organized an extensive
roster of workshops, lectures and special events.
