"421 Nights: Receive" 1995		Donald Furst Visual Artist "Through the generous support of the Arts Council's grant program, my 1996-97 Fellowship period was significantly productive. The financial support freed me from the need to seek extra employment in the evenings and summers, which in turn gave me the precious studio time to complete two image suites. I was able to extend traditional lithographic techniques onto glass and explore new methods of photo-etching such as techniques involving photopolymer film. The grant allowed me to purchase necessary but expensive materials required in my work; to buy wood and metal section frames in sufficient quantity to gain bulk discounts and to have enough frames on hand to mount simultaneous gallery exhibits and to acquire a decent-quality mat cutter that will not wreck my wrist and back. Without the Fellowship assistance this would not have been possible." Donald Furst has an M.F.A., M.A. and B.A. from the University of Iowa. He is University Distinguished Professor at the University of North Carolina in Wilmington where he resides. Return to the NC Artist Grant Award Recipients for 1996-97
