The Independent Association of Framingham State Alumni is pleased to announce Professor Marc Cote as the fall 2009 Whitney Travel Grant Recipient.

 

Cote, chair of the art department, will travel to Poland during his spring 2010 sabbatical to work with the faculty of the Art Academy of Krakow where he will use traditional and experimental printmaking techniques on a series of artwork.  Cote will also travel to Germany to study at the Druckstelle Studio in Berlin. 

 

As president of the Boston Printmakers, Cote will form an international committee to expand the organization and plan the North American Print Biennial.  Framingham State College will co-host this juried print exhibition during 2011 at the Danforth Museum of Art.

 

In addition, Cote will coordinate Professor Marcin Surzycka’s visit to the U.S., during which Surzycka will demonstrate his experimental techniques in collograph printing to FSC students.  A student study tour to Central Europe, in which students will have the ability to work and exhibit in both Poland and Germany, is also being planned.
