Hurst Artist in Residence

The Dean W. and Carol W. Hurst Artist/Scholar in Residence for the 2009-2010 Academic Year.

The Hurst Artist in Residence Program rotates annually around the various disciplines within the College of Arts and Humanities at Weber State University. Its purpose is to provide students with direct access to a national or internationally recognized artist for an extended period, generally 4-6 days, but it has been up to two weeks depending on availability and budget.

The priorities of the residency are:

  • to work daily with students in an intensive workshop situation
  • to offer advanced students a guest critique
  • and to provide a public lecture, presentation or performance

If possible we would like to include the generation of work as a result of collaboration with students.

The schedule is completely flexible and the exact nature of the activity with students will likely result from collaborative thinking between the artist/scholar and our faculty after a selection is made.

Projects involving partnerships between departments are encouraged. Incorporation of residency into classroom work is also encouraged.

Please submit proposals of no more than 2 pages explaining how your artist/scholar selection and residency proposal will meet the priorities of the Hurst Residency Program to Dean Miner by November 30, 2008.
