Undergraduate students pursuing degrees (majors, minors, certificates) in Studio Arts, Political Science, and/or Global Studies are invited to apply for this artist-in-residence experiential learning program. Two artists-in-residence will be selected to create unique artworks for exhibition in the Political Science Department and the Global Studies Center. Material funding (up to $800) will be available, and selected artists will receive a $500 award upon project completion. The theme is "Global Appalachia," which captures the interplay among the deeply rooted socio-political processes, practices, and traditions of the Appalachian region and its dynamic connections to the broader world. It also highlights how the region transcends those boundaries through global influences, migrations, and shared struggles.
