Museum of Fine Art Houston, Glassell School of Art
Houston, TX, USA United States of America

This is the 18th annual exhibition of works produced by the skilled young artists who have fellowships at the Glassell School of Art, the teaching arm of the MFAH. The Core Residents program offers emerging artists a nine-month residency at the school, where they are given studio space and a monthly stipend in order to explore art freely. The exhibition displays the work that the resident artists have produced during their tenure at the Glassell School of Art. Joseph Havel, director of the Glassell School of Art, curates the Annual Core Exhibition.

The Annual Core Exhibition features works by the talented young artists in the Core Program at the Glassell School of Art. This important event showcases art in a variety of media, including installation art, paintings, photographs, and sculpture. The Core artists, selected from an international pool of recent university and art school graduates, spend nine intensive months focusing on their artistic practice in studios at the Glassell School. There are also two Core critical studies residents, who have contributed essays to the exhibition catalogue. The program emphasizes an intensive studio experience and self-motivated investigation of visual arts, rather than formal class instruction. In addition, a series of seminars, lectures, and critiques by important contemporary artists and critics complements the fellowship program.
