New Hampshire Charitable Foundation's Piscataqua Region Artist Advancement Grant recognizes the important contribution of working artists to the cultural life of the region by providing an annual financial award to promote the artistic growth of visual artists and craftspeople. The purpose of the award is not to reward past work, but to recognize the applicant best positioned to continue the improvement of their artistic career.
In partnership with NHCF, 3S Artspace is delighted to mount works by the 2023 grant recipient and finalists:
Ryan Rasmussen is a multi-disciplinary artist whose work spans practices in sculpture, installation, kinetic and electronic works, haptic installations, sonic environments, collaboration, design, two-dimensional media, video and things that have mass or do not.
