This exhibition features artwork by 16 of the 18 winners of the 2010-11 North Carolina Arts Council (NCAC) Artist Fellowship awards, in the categories of visual arts, craft, film and video. Since 1980, financial support has been provided to over 500 North Carolina artists through the North Carolina Arts Council Artist Fellowship Award program. Mary B. Regan, executive director of the NCAC, explains, “These grants give artists a chance to deepen their work and explore new ground.” The artists receive a $10,000 fellowship to support creative development and the creation of new work.

During a weeklong residency during the spring 2012 semester, environmental artist Bryant Holsenbeck worked with student and community volunteers to create this installation using recyclable materials. Designed to raise awareness and encourage sustainable practices in communities and daily life, the project is a partnership with the Department of Art’s Catherine J. Smith Gallery.
