Vanderbilt to host artists program

Advanced art students from Vanderbilt University will have the chance to collaborate with nationally renowned guest artists and artists from the Nashville community this semester through a new intensive artists-in-residence course.

Feminist artist Judy Chicago and photographer Donald Woodman, a husband and wife team, will lead the multi-media program with Vanderbilt art history professor Vivien Green Fryd.

Participants, who had to submit a resume, letter of intent and portfolio to apply, also had to commit to two hours daily during the first month of the project alone.

JoEl Logiudice, a Vanderbilt administrator accepted to the program, said it is a unique opportunity for 12 artists and 12 students to interact daily with Chicago and Woodman.
