Outstanding Student Achievement in Contemporary Sculpture Award
MFA students Steven Beatty ('06) and Crystal Schenk ('07) received the International Sculpture Center's 2006 Outstanding Student Achievement in Contemporary Sculpture Award. The International Sculpture Center (ISC) established the annual "Outstanding Student Achievement in Contemporary Sculpture Aword" program in 1994 to recognize young sculptors and to encourage their continued commitment to the field. Over 140 universities, colleges and art school sculpture programs from six countries nominated a total of 377 students.
The selection of the winners from a large pool of applicants, including international students, is a great accomplishment and testament to the artistic promise of the students' work.
The 22 award recipients will participate in the Grounds for Sculpture's Fall/Winter Exhibition, which will be on view from October 7, 2006 - January 7, 2007 in Hamilton, New Jersey, adjacent to the ISC headquarters. The artist's work will be included in Grounds For Sculpture's 2006 Fall/Winter Exhibition Catalogue and featured in the October 2006 issue of the International Sculpture Center's award winning publication, Sculpture magazine as well as on the ISC website at: www.sculpture.org
