Hamilton, NJ, September 1, 2011 -- The International Sculpture Center, the world's leading
non-profit organization dedicated to championing the creation and understanding of sculpture
and its unique, vital contribution to society, announced the recipients of its 2011 Outstanding Student Achievement in Contemporary Sculpture Award. This year, 15 talented students were
selected from among 485 faculty-sponsored nominees, representing more than 190 art
departments at colleges and universities around the world. Established in 1994, the International Sculpture Center's Outstanding Student Achievement in
Contemporary Sculpture Award competition was created to recognize undergraduate and graduate student excellence in sculpture. In partnership with institutions of higher learning
from around the world, this educational outreach award program encourages faculty members
through a nomination process to sponsor students demonstrating exceptional talent in the
field of contemporary sculpture. Brooke Kamin Rapaport, an independent curator and writer in New York; DeWitt Godfrey, Sculptor & Director of the Institute for Creative & Performing Arts
at Colgate University; and John Lash, artist and CEO of the Digital Atelier in New Jersey,
served as the panel of judges that selected the 15 winners and 14 honorable mentions at this year's competition.
"The level of talent of this group of promising artists progresses each year," said Johannah Hutchison, Executive Director at the International Sculpture Center.
The International Sculpture Center will honor this year's recipients and showcase their artwork
at the annual award presentation and private reception at the Grounds For Sculpture in Hamilton, NJ. The show will run from October 16, 2011 to April 22, 2012. The traveling
exhibition will continue, at a venue to be determined, in the fall of 2012. Winners will receive a
biographical profile and photograph of their work featured in Sculpture magazine; a chance to win a residency in Switzerland and study with distinguished sculptor Heinz Aeschlimann;
inclusion of their award-winning sculpture works published in a color Fall/Winter exhibition
catalogue sponsored by the Grounds For Sculpture; and a free one year membership with the ISC.
