Bugs, Path and Inner Tube, Susan Harbage Page, 2011

This project was supported by the N.C. Arts Council, a division of the Department of Cultural Resources, with funding from the National Endowment for the Arts.

Eighteen artists in North Carolina were awarded the distinctive honor of being named the 2010-2011 North Carolina Arts Council Artist Fellowship Awards. The awards were in the categories of choreography, craft, film and video and visual arts. In the spring of 2012, sixteen of these artists will be featured in the Turchin Center galleries with new work.
Panels comprised of artists and arts professionals with expertise in each discipline selected these recipients. Since the program’s inception in 1980, more than 500 artists have received awards. “Fellowships provide financial support for artists during a crucial point in their careers,” said Nancy Trovillion, acting director of the North Carolina Arts Council. “These grants give artists a chance to deepen their work and explore new ground.” Each of the artists received a $10,000 fellowship.
The recipients of the 2010-2011 North Carolina Arts Council Artist Fellowship Awards include:

• Elizabeth Brim
• Phoebe Brush
• Kirk Fanelly
• Gail Fredell
• Maja Godlewska
• Christopher Holmes
• Mark Iwinski
• Young Kim
• Anne Lemanski
• Nava Lubelski
• Sean Pace
• Susan Harbage Page
• Vita Plume
• Shoko Teruyama

The center will hold a series of Round Table Artist Presentations that are scheduled for March 28th and April 25th at 7pm followed by a reception at 8pm.

Using an Artist’s Tools to Chart Your Path   Saturday, March 10, 2012
Confused about  how to be a good citizen? Perhaps, you must first ask — how do you take care of yourself? Old ideas about the way life is “supposed” to be are useless. To peak and prosper, you must see with new eyes, tackle risks, face failure. Balance comes from integrating feelings, thoughts and actions to produce beautiful results – the wheelhouse of an artist’s life. In this session, you will work with artist Susan Harbage Page to dig deep, question myths and attack assumptions that hold you back. The day’s result will be your transformed perspective on life, work and meaningful community service.

According to the Biblical story of Genesis, the moment that Adam and Eve ate the forbidden fruit and became self-aware, the very first thing they did was make themselves something to wear. Using amazing objects from the Gregg Museum’s permanent collection, this exhibition explores not only how clothing serves to protect, shelter, shield, and modify the human body, but also how what we wear helps us lure, seduce, dominate, segregate or manipulate others, discover spirituality and personal self awareness, proclaim our individuality or group membership, or express ourselves. Photographs, artifacts, jewelry, and a dazzling array of outfits ranging from military uniforms, gangster wear and tribal shaman’s garb, to executive power suits and ultra-high-fashion evening gowns, offer a fascinating foray into how clothes can do so much more than merely “make the man.”
