Regional Emerging Artist-in-Residence
July 2008 - January 2009

Regional Emerging Artist in Residence Prospectus

We welcome Marie Cordella as our new Regional Emerging Artist-in-Residence. Established in January 2000, the Regional Emerging Artist Residency is a program that provides emerging visual artists with time and space to explore their work in a supportive, thriving, artistic environment. The residency includes a private, rent-free studio with 24-hour access. Recipients are selected through a call to artists held twice a year. The next deadline is October 1, 2008 for a January - July 2009 residency. Interested applicants may view the prospectus for this residency.

Since launching her design career in 2001 Cordella has created a unique portfolio of commissioned graphic designs, custom clothing, soft-goods, animations, illustrations, and much more. Her works vary in media and functionality ranging from custom wedding dress design and production to highly intuitive personal experimentations that disregard the boundaries of what is acceptable in current ready-to-wear clothing. While in residence, Cordella plans to immerse herself in new information and take her work on an intuitive journey, experimenting with textiles, metal, plastic, and wood. Her goal is to create a new collection of unique wearable pieces that are original while at the same time familiar, rich with historical samples.

A native of Silver Spring, MD, Cordella earned a Bachelor of Fine Arts in graphic design from Virginia Commonwealth University, Richmond, VA, and a Masters in Industrial Design from North Carolina State University, Raleigh, NC. She currently serves on the Board of Directors at NC State University’s Gregg Museum, as Chair of Special Events.
