Calling all Student Artists: Applications deadline for RELEVANT 2010 Park City, Utah August 1-8 Is this Sunday, April 18
Airfare, lodging, meals, art supplies and a stipend will be provided to accepted student artists. To learn more or apply , visit kimballartcenter.org

The concept of RELEVANT 2010 has been inspired by our on going relationship with the Sundance Institute and their acclaimed Sundance Labs. Beginning in 1981 Robert Redford gathered ten emerging filmmakers who came together and cultivated independent vision, originality, and experimentation. It was this small group that formed the initial foundation of the now world renowned Sundance labs. In that spirit, RELEVANT 2010 hopes to grow to an internationally recognized resource for emerging artists, supporting creativity, artistic expression and discovery. We are currently seeking innovative art students 21 and older, who are enrolled in an undergraduate or graduate level art program.

RELEVANT 2010 culminates with the Opening Night Auction and Gala of the 41st Annual Park City Kimball Arts Festival, a three-day festival attracting 45,000 attendees and over 225 juror selected international artists. During the residency each student’s primary goal will be to create a piece of artwork that will be sold to one of the over 300 Auction and Gala attendees . Students will be given a theme, time-line, budget and their own studio space.

Higher Ground, an exhibition by OCAC Wood Department Head Karl Burkheimer, investigates his interest in the space, real or perceived, between the object of contemplation and the object of utility. Using the gallery as his architectural reference, Burkheimer creates objects within the space as points of exchange with the public. For Burkheimer the creative endeavor lies in the making—the act and art of transforming materials into form and meaning. The parts and pieces as well as the materials and processes that embody his work convey a language of labor and skill, referencing precedent and reveling intent. Through this language Burkheimer instills purpose into the work, while striving to transcend utility and commodity. He regards his work as essentially the residue of his process. The exhibition runs April 1-24, 2010 at DopplerPDX at 625 NW Everett Street #109 in Portland. Opening reception April 1 from 5:30-9:00pm.
