KANSAS CITY, MO.- Kansas City based artist and 1998 Charlotte Street Visual Artist Award Fellow Anne Lindberg has been selected by Art Omi’s selection panel to attend Art Omi International Artists Residency Program in July 2009. Located in the historic Hudson River Valley in upstate New York, the International Artists Residency is a three week Residency Program for visual artists, which provides artists with a studio, living quarters, and meals.

Lindberg is the fifth Kansas City based artist selected to attend Art Omi through a partnership between Charlotte Street Foundation and Art Omi launched in 2004. Through this partnership, one CSF Visual Artist Award Fellow per year is awarded a slot at the prestigious program, where they work alongside other selected artists from around the world and gain access to prominent visiting critics, curators, gallerists, and artists. This year’s critic-in-residence, on hand to lead discussions and make one-on-one studio visits, is Frances Richard, a critic and writer for ArtForum Magazine.

Anne Lindberg received her BFA from Miami University, Oxford, Ohio in 1985 and her MFA from Cranbrook Academy of Art, Bloomfield Hills, Michigan, in 1988. Represented by the Dolphin Gallery, her work has been presented in solo exhibitions at national galleries and museums including Dennos Museum, Traverse City, Michigan; Sheldon Memorial Art Gallery, University of Nebraska, Lincoln; and Meadows Gallery, University of Texas at Tyler. Her work has been featured in group exhibitions including shows at the Kemper Museum of Art, Kansas City; Reading Art Museum, Reading, PA; Glyndor Gallery at Wave Hill, Bronx, NY; and Daum Museum of Art, Sedalia, MO. Several of her large scale graphite drawings are currently on view in “Apparently Inivisible – Selections Spring 2009” at The Drawing Center, New York.
