Nick Roudebush of Noblesville has been awarded the prestigious International Sculpture Center’s Outstanding Student Achievement in Contemporary Sculpture Award for 2013. Roudebush is a 2009 Wabash University graduate and is now a student at the University of Notre Dame. He is an instructor in the art department at Indiana Wesleyan University.
The International Sculpture Center established the annual award program in 1994 to recognize young sculptors and to encourage their continued commitment to the field. It was also designed to draw attention to the sculpture programs of the participating universities, colleges and art schools.
A distinguished panel selected 12 recipients and five honorable mentions through a competitive viewing process of the works submitted. The selection of the recipients from a large pool of applicants, including international students, is a great accomplishment and testament to the artistic promise of the students’ work. The 12 award recipients will participate in the Grounds For Sculpture’s Fall/Winter Exhibition, which will be on view from Oct. 18, through March 30, 2014, in Hamilton, N.J.
