Art, Family, and Fertility at Sculpture Space | Albany News

Sculpture Space in Utica just landed a $33,000 grant from the National Endowment for the Arts to keep fueling its mission: giving artists the freedom and tools to create. Artist Coralina Rodriguez Meyer is turning that support into brass armor for a fertility-themed performance piece, finding inspiration and experimentation in the residency’s open, supportive environment. Originally built to provide access to specialized tools, Sculpture Space has grown into a global hub for sculptors chosen solely on artistic merit. Executive Director Tom Montan emphasizes total creative freedom—and public access—so visitors can witness art in progress. For Meyer, it’s been transformative: she’s blending motherhood with her craft, bringing her daughter along to co-create and co-experience the residency’s unique blend of art and life.
