Visiting Artist Residency Program
The Visiting Artist Residency program is one feature of the Cynthia Woods Mitchell Center for the Arts collaborative initiative. Its aim is to bring prominent contemporary artists working in all areas of the arts to the University of Houston for collaborative exhibitions, performances, and class participation at both the graduate and undergraduate levels.
In April 2005 Terry Allen, an internationally recognized visual artist, writer, and musician with strong Texas roots, and his wife Jo Harvey Allen, an actress and monologist, will spend a residency at the University of Houston. During their stay, the Allen’s will be guest instructors for the newly developed seminar course entitled Collaboration among the Arts. Concurrently, Blaffer Gallery will mount a major exhibition of Terry Allen’s artworks, and the UH School of Theatre will present a significant theatrical performance of Mr. Allen’s in its Wortham Theatre, with music written and performed by Terry Allen and accompanying musicians, and featuring Jo Harvey Allen in the starring role. |
