Dear Friends of the Academy,

Residency artists Heather Personett and Zoe Suenson-Taylor on Tuesday March
18th from 6:30 to 9.00 PM at ABC Stone.
Please RSVP t
ABC Stone
Background
ABC Stone sponsored the 2013 Artist Residency in Carrara as part of its ongoing
commitment to sustaining and promoting the use of stone in artistic practice. Of the
many creative treatments of this material, traditional carving has suffered a decline of
knowledge base during the past century. ABC seeks to address this by pairing young
artists with master sculptors for experiential learning through intensive mentoring. It is
our belief that deepening the awareness of stone commensurately widens respect for
this venerable medium and the millennia-old human tradition in transforming it through
highly skilled craft. Whether in Michelangelo's homeland or in our very own NYC
backyard, ABC remains devoted to sponsoring the cultural arts and in particular stone
artistry.
