Artist-in-Residence Program

Spring 2012 Larry Berk Artist-in-Residence:
Wendy Hollender

We are pleased to announce that the Larry Berk Artists-in-Residence for Spring 20121 will be Wendy Hollender, botanical artist, instructor and author. For more information about her residency, click here.

The Artist-in-Residence Program at SUNY Ulster began in the Spring of 1999. The goal of the program is to celebrate the rich arts culture in this community and to give SUNY Ulster students and the general public the opportunity to enjoy and appreciate all forms of arts and to make the arts a part of their own lives. In 2007, the program was renamed the Larry Berk Artist-in-Residence Program to honor the memory of Larry Berk, for his extraordinary work in creating several series of cultural, intellectual and artistic programs that are unique among New York State’s community colleges. These have included the Artist in Residence Series, Library Writers Series, the annual Poetry Forum and a Visiting Artists Series. In 2008, SUNY Ulster introduced the Words and Music Series, sponsored by Ulster Community College Foundation, Inc. and dedicated to Larry Berk for all his work in bringing these programs to campus.

This unique program brings an established local artist to campus for an entire semester. The chosen artist presents a series of events, open to the public, during the semester. Many of the special evening events, hosted by the Artist-in-Residence, will feature additional guest artists of world renown, invited to SUNY Ulster by the Artist-in-Residence. The Artist-in-Residence Program offers students and community members a chance to work with, and learn from, active artists.
