EAF10: 2010 Emerging Artist Fellowship Exhibition

Socrates Sculpture Park

This event has ended.

This year, Socrates awarded fellowships to: Gavin Anderson, Scott Andresen, Rachel Beach, Trenton Duerksen, Jonathan Durham, Daniele Frazier, Frank Haines, Jonggeon Lee, MaryKate Maher, Christopher Manzione, Clive Murphy, Jess Perlitz, Lina Puerta, Jory Rabinovitz, David M. Scanavino, Lior Shvil, Ruby Sky Stiler and Jason Villegas.

This year also marks the 10th anniversary of the Emerging Artist Fellowship Exhibitions—ten years from when the EAF Program was visually re-branded and its resident artists were first distinguished in their own annual show (the program, itself, was established in 1996 as an extension of the Park’s Outdoor Studio Program). From its inception, the EAF Program has supported 170 artists.

Fellowship artists are awarded a grant and a residency in the Park’s outdoor studio and are also provided with technical support and access to tools, materials and equipment to facilitate the production of new sculptures for exhibition in the Park. The artists develop their projects throughout the summer in the open studio and on site in the landscape, offering visitors the opportunity to experience the creation of the works that are then installed in the Park. Representing a broad range of materials, working methods and subject matter, the diverse sculptural works in this exhibition are presented against the spectacular waterfront view of the Manhattan skyline.
