Emerging Artist Allison Rasmussen Wins Artist Residency in Silver City
SILVER CITY — The Resident Artist Program in Silver City is delighted to announce that our winter visiting artist, Allison Rasmussen, is creating a permanent artwork for the Program, using Pulitzer Prize-nominated poet David Lee's poem "Silver City Dawn Psalm" as its focus.
During his 2016 visit, Lee wrote the poem about watching the sun rise in Silver City - it was later nominated for a Pushcart Prize.
Allison is an honors student at Argent Preparatory Academy, studying art at Western Nevada College through their early college entry program. She will complete an Associate degree this year at age 18.
Each year, the Resident Artist Program in Silver City hosts at least one young emerging artist, as well as established artists.
Recent Residents have included internationally acclaimed photographer Frances Melhop; UK artist Stewart Easton (his work has been on view at the Tate Modern, the University of Oxford’s Ashmolean museum, and a number of U.S. galleries); New Zealand artist Sophie Scott; and former Utah Poet Laureate David Lee, in addition to artists, writers and dancers from Denmark, England, Michigan, California, and Indiana.
