Cristin named 2010-2011 ArtsEdge Writer-In-Residence at University of Pennsylvania

Posted on August 1, 2010

From the press release: “The University of Pennsylvania’s Kelly Writers Houseis excited to announce the recipient of the 2010-2011 ArtsEdge Residency: New York City-based poet and author Cristin O’Keefe Aptowicz. ArtsEdge is a collaborative residency project designed to encourage the careers of emergent writers. Residencies last for one year and include an apartment, studio space in the AIR Space artistic nexus on 40th street, and close affiliation with Penn’s writing communities. Aptowicz plans to use the ArtsEdge residency to work on a non-fiction book about the life and times of Thomas Dent Mutter, founder of the Philadelphia’s Mutter Museum. The Mutter Museum has granted Aptowicz full access to their museum, library and archives so that she may conduct her research for the book. Additionally, the Mutter Museum’s Francis C. Wood Institute for the History of Medicine has awarded Aptowicz with a Wood Institute Travel Grant to help further fund and support her work on this project. In addition to her writing projects, Aptowicz will get involved with Kelly Writers House programs and teach a Spring 2011 Creative Writing course at Penn focusing on non-fiction and poetry.” To read the full press release, click here.
