Tim Frerichs
The New York State Council on the Arts (NYSCA) has awarded a $10,000 grant to Department of Visual Arts and New Media Professor Tim Frerichs to support “Waterways,” a project that will focus on Lake Chautauqua and its water systems as representative of Western New York waterways.
Mr. Frerichs will collaborate with Department of Biology Associate Professor Courtney Wigdahl-Perry, an aquatic ecologist, and Toby Shepard, the Chautauqua Lake project director.
“Waterways” will encompass community workshops, artists books and an art installation and will be somewhat similar in scope to Frerichs’ “Navigation: Lake Erie, The Great Lakes” exhibition. Frerichs has initiated conversations with potential exhibition and workshop hosts.
