THE WOMEN’S

A summer intensive studio course for

contemporary women artists

of all ages and backgrounds.

JUNE 9 – JULY 3, 2014

THE WOMEN’S ART INSTITUTE

Application deadline: May 5, 2014

Materials must be received by this date.

Mailing panel

A resurgence of activity and discussion around the issue of women and art has galvanized artists to ask some new questions. What do you have to say about contemporary women’s images? Where are the new horizons in women’s art practice, or in interdisciplinary collaboration and feminist art? Since 1999, the Women’s Art Institute Summer Studio Intensive has grown out of the questions that contemporary women artists of all ages and backgrounds bring to the Institute — to contemplate, to share, to discuss and to create art. The Department of Art and Art History of St. Catherine University, in cosponsorship with Minneapolis College of Art and Design, presents this innovative and rigorous course that focuses on issues and art that arise through the combination of open studio work, intense individual tutoring, inspiring conversation and critiques, and presentations by guest artists, critics and art historians.

Our intensive four-week studio program is designed for individuals who have mastered basic skills and now want to move to deeper levels of understanding and expression in their work. Disciplines explored include painting, drawing, collage, photography, fiber, sculpture, digital art, installation and performance. Participants will have all-day access to the large, sunlit studios and shop facilities of the Visual Arts Building on St. Kate’s campus. The Institute is in session Monday through Friday, with several evening presentations. Program goals for students include:

• Gain insights into the work of contemporary women artists;

• Achieve philosophical, aesthetic and historical knowledge to define your goals as a woman artist;

• Receive individual tutoring, with critique emphasizing intention, form, content and context;

• Develop a portfolio based on group discussion and individual questions.

A resurgence of activity and discussion around the issue of women and art has galvanized artists to ask some new questions. What do you have to say about contemporary women’s images? Where are the new horizons in women’s art practice, or in interdisciplinary collaboration and feminist art? Since 1999, the Women’s Art Institute Summer Studio Intensive has grown out of the questions that contemporary women artists of all ages and backgrounds bring to the Institute — to contemplate, to share, to discuss and to create art. The Department of Art and Art History of St. Catherine University, in cosponsorship with Minneapolis College of Art and Design, presents this innovative and rigorous course that focuses on issues and art that arise through the combination of open studio work, intense individual tutoring, inspiring conversation and critiques, and presentations by guest artists, critics and art historians.

Our intensive four-week studio program is designed for individuals who have mastered basic skills and now want to move to deeper levels of understanding and expression in their work. Disciplines explored include painting, drawing, collage, photography, fiber, sculpture, digital art, installation and performance. Participants will have all-day access to the large, sunlit studios and shop facilities of the Visual Arts Building on St. Kate’s campus. The Institute is in session Monday through Friday, with several evening presentations. Program goals for students include:

• Gain insights into the work of contemporary women artists;

• Achieve philosophical, aesthetic and historical knowledge to define your goals as a woman artist;

• Receive individual tutoring, with critique emphasizing intention, form, content and context;

• Develop a portfolio based on group discussion and individual questions.
