Artist-in-Residence Program Continues with May Wilson and Lauren DiCioccio
Visiting Artists to Engage Community in Creative Process
Community members have the unique opportunity to view and contribute to the creative process as artists Lauren DiCioccio and May Wilson begin their residency as part of the Palo Alto Art Center’s Artist-In-Residence program this month.
The two artists, working in tandem, will use a wide range of fabric donated by the public to create a series of imaginative, anthropomorphic sculptures at their workshop in the Cubberley Community Center, 4000 Middlefield Road, Palo Alto. Stop by Room F4 at Cubberley to meet the artists and participate in the creative process!
May and DiCioccio will be creating their artwork in Room F4 Center November 15-December 15, Sundays and Mondays from noon-4 p.m.
At the end of their residency period, the artwork will be exhibited in lift/HEFT: New Sculptures by Lauren DiCioccio and May Wilson, on view at the Palo Alto Art Center’s Glass Gallery, January 17-April 12, 2015.
The Artist-in-Residence Program was established to reinforce the mission of the Art Center, and to build important connections between the recognized exhibition and studio programs and the community. Through this program, the Palo Alto Art Center will actively collaborate with artists throughout the region. During their residency, participating artists will engage with community members in a variety of Art Center programs, culminating in an installation project.
The Palo Alto Art Center’s Artist-in-Residence Program is supported in part by an award from the National Endowment for the Arts.
