Program details:

The most exciting event of the spring season is the experimental program, Gallery-as-Studio Artist Residency. After requesting nominations from around the country, a shortlist of 10 artists was created and invitations to apply were sent. One artist will be in residence for two weeks in Reno between Feb. 13 and 24 using the gallery space as their studio to create new work, which will result in an exhibition after they leave. The artist was selected based on their interest in the local Reno area, their response to the space, and availability to the public and student population. This year's winning nomination for the Gallery-as-Studio Resident Artist is Amy Sacksteder. She is an associate professor of art at Eastern Michigan University; she received her bachelor's degree in English from the University of Dayton in 2001 and received her master's degree in painting from Northern Illinois University in 2004. Sacksteder has been featured in solo and group exhibitions nationally and internationally, attended artist residencies in Illinois, Newfoundland, Southern France, Philadelphia, Budapest and Reykjavi­k, and published in journals such as New American Paintings.
