How does an artist get into the Torpedo Factory? Artists who dream of having a studio here often assume the process must be baffling; in fact, it's surprisingly straightforward.

On Monday, March 18, 2013, from 9 a.m. to 6 p.m., aspiring Torpedo Factory artists will flock to the third-floor landing, bringing with them five original works (and cardboard to protect each work), a CD with 10 to 20 additional images, and an application that includes an artist statement and information about their process. They'll be assigned ID numbers to ensure anonymity—no résumés allowed—and they'll need to follow other criteria outlined in the official application: only one-third of the CD images may show work that’s more than two years old, for example—and please, no wet paint.

Dr. Peter Matic, Head of the Multifunctional Materials Branch at the Naval Research Laboratory, shares how visualization and simulatin of stress fields and fluid flows have shaped modern structural integrity while redefining the way we "see" in a data-rich world.

Visual artists who are interested in joining the Torpedo Factory Artists' Association are invited to attend a Jury Information Session to learn about the annual jury process and the benefits of being an associate artist (such as eligibility for studio space).

With all this rain and flooding, I'm not too crazy about being outside right now. Though the rain may let up a bit for the weekend, it's still pretty soggy, muddy and flooded around town. What to do?
