Some of our blog readers may not be aware that our director,

Theresa Gates-Kuhr was just one of two Ohio artists

 selected to be included in the

Dresden (Germany) Residency Exchange for 2013.

The Ohio Arts Council funds the Dresden Residency Exchange — 

part of an ongoing cultural-artistic link between

 the State of Ohio and the city of Dresden, Germany.

 This program enables artists from Ohio and Dresden to

 become acquainted with

 the art and artists of each community, provides time for the artists to

 explore the printmaking resources of each location,

 and establishes ongoing artistic relations between Ohio and Dresden. 

Theresa arrived safely in Dresden a few days ago

 to begin her five week residency, making prints!

Here she is getting the keys to her living quarters

from the head of Dresden’s Cultural Art Dept.,

Martin Chidiac.

We’re very excited that Theresa has this wonderful opportunity!!

Theresa and the two other residency artists

already have an exhibition of their past work

opening this Monday, Sept. 30th.
