The Carving Studio and Sculpture Center Programs

Workshops
The Carving Studio and Sculpture Center offers weeklong workshops that are intensive, informative and invaluable creative experiences for participants ranging from mature professional artists to high school students exploring life options. Highly qualified Instructors generously share their experience in stone and most other sculptural media. Several introductory weekend workshops in various disciplines are available May through October. We work with local high schools and colleges to develop customized courses in sculpture.

Artist Residencies are integral to our programming. International Artists in Residence are invited to the Carving Studio and Sculpture Center for one to two months to create sculpture and interact with the arts community. Our successful Vermont Artist in Residence program offers weeklong residencies to Vermont artists, and is in part funded by the Vermont Arts Council. We are pleased that for 2005 this tradition will continue with our roster of accomplished sculptors.

Intern Program
Serious students of sculpture gain invaluable knowledge through their participation as studio assistants. Their maintenance of the Studio and assistance to instructors is compensated with a small stipend in addition to room and board. Interns take part in workshops, work independently and constitute a vital presence at the Studio. Those who are enrolled in a Fine Arts degree program may be able to earn course credits for their participation.

Independent Sculpture Studio
Opportunities for independent work are available during the months of May, September and October when workshop sessions are not scheduled. Fees are $35.00 per day or $150.00 per week and include workspace, compressed air and electricity. Further information is available upon request.

Gallery Exhibitions
One and two person shows are featured at the Carving Studio and Sculpture Center Gallery, 259 Marble Street, West Rutland, throughout the year. Opening Receptions are held the first Friday of each exhibit.
