What: 2025 Stuart AiR Open Studio Event with Anna SchenkerWhen: Thursday, September 25, 2025 / 4-6pm
Where: Grove Hall Ritz Gallery
This event is free and open to the public.
Anna Schenker creates rubbings, paintings, and sculptures that record direct interaction with her immediate surroundings. Through physical actions and systems for making, she uses touch as a tool to gain understanding and preserve a moment in time. These close investigations seek to slow down our initial perception of environments and create space for wonder and play. Anna received her BS in Art and Psychology from Skidmore College and an MFA in Visual Art from Washington University in St. Louis. She is based in St. Louis, MO.

The Stuart Artist-in-Residence program is funded through a donation from Joe and Signe Stuart, who worked and taught in Brookings for several decades. Signe Stuart was a professor of art at SDSU from 1972 to 1994, and Joe Stuart served as director and curator at the South Dakota Art Museum. Together they initiated the development of an artist-in-residence program on campus to enrich the community and create opportunities for artists, students and faculty.
Each fall, a national or international artist is invited to make art on campus for one month, interacting with us through lecture, critique, open studio hours and an open studio event at the end of the residency. The Ritz Gallery serves as the artist’s studio. This program is an experimental way for students to learn from the artist and observe how their work develops.
