Fogelberg Studio Fellowship Program
Applications will soon be accepted for the seventh annual Fogelberg Studio Fellowship Program. This fellowship is designed to provide emerging ceramic artists an opportunity to be in residence for one year at the Northern Clay Center, where they can develop their own work as well as exchange ideas and knowledge with other ceramic artists.Two studio fellowships will be awarded in 2012, valued at $3,000 each. Fellowship recipients share a large, private, fully furnished studio space (measuring 16’ x 11’) from September 1, 2012 through August 31, 2013. In addition to the work space, each fellowship includes materials and a firing stipend. Recipients’ work will also be included in a group exhibition featuring several artists, which will take place in January of 2014. Artists are required to create 100 vessels for Soup It Up, an annual fundraiser that supports a variety of educational and youth programs throughout the Twin Cities, including this particular program.
The Fogelberg Studio Fellowship is made possible by the generous support of an anonymous donor, who is an avid collector and maker of pots. It is intended to nurture the creative expression of aspiring artists.
