This October, second-year sculptor Samantha Russell flew from Minneapolis to Pittsburgh, PA to attend the 26th annual International Sculpture Conference–Sculpture in Context: Tradition and Innovation. The event brought together "artists, arts administrators, curators, patrons, students, and sculpture enthusiasts for exciting programming on contemporary sculpture." Russell's piece, entitled "Searching," was exhibited at the show for more than 300 conference participants to see. And she was in good company! Collaborators and sponsors included: The Andy Warhol Museum, Carnegie Mellon University, Carnegie Museum of Art, Digital Atelier, Greater Pittsburgh Arts Council, Mattress Factory, McKay Lodge Conservation Laboratory, Inc., NOVA Chemicals, Office of Public Art, Pittsburgh Center for the Arts, Pittsburgh Cultural Trust, Pittsburgh Glass Center, Rivers of Steel National Heritage Area and Carrie Furnaces, Seward Johnson Atelier and University of Pittsburgh.
