ITE Residency
The ITE participants began their residency in Philadelphia on June 9, 2007. Typical activities include visits to museums, nature areas, historic sites, and public and private collections of art. Sponsored by the Wood Turning Center, Philadelphia, and hosted by the University of the Arts (UArts), the ITE residency focuses on discussions, studio work, experiments, and collaborations.
On Saturday, July 14 the ITE Resident Fellows invite the public into the shop for Open Studio Day. Visitors can participate in discussions and watch demonstrations as the artists share their skills and talk about their evolving work. This event is an ‘open studio’ event that takes place from 10 am until 4 pm at the University of the Arts, Wood Working Department in Anderson Hall, 333 South Broad Street. Visitors are welcome to arrive when they want and stay for as long as they want! You can come early and stay for lunch or arrive in time for lunch and spend the afternoon with the artists. Donations of $10 are requested for the event (without lunch) & a $20 donation includes lunch. An RSVP is required for anyone wishing to join the Residents for lunch.
The grand finale to the 2007 ITE program is the exhibit, allTURNatives: Form + Spirit, at the Wood Turning Center from August 3rd through September 22nd. This multi-disciplinary exhibit reflects the residents’ experiences including objects produced before and during the residency.
