October Art Club Meeting – Wed. Oct 19

This months official meeting will be this week: Wednesday, October 19.

We will primarily be preparing works (and assisting others in this task) for the Dunwoody Student Art Show which will be installed this Friday, October 21 at 10 a.m.

During the meeting we’ll talk about the Art Show and discuss volunteering – we desperately need your help!!! While it will take 2 people about 6 hours to hang, with more people it will take much less time for all involved! Gain experience that you can use on your C.V. and transfer applications and help contribute to the biggest event the Art Club holds each year!

We will also talk about Movie Day coming up next week on Oct 26th and a potential art demo event featuring printmaking sometime in November.

Bring materials to prepare your work for the exhibition – if you’re not sure what you’ll need to bring please email Ms. Levacy (mlevacy@gsu.edu) as soon as possible. She’ll help you identify what your most affordable options are and what will be required for Wednesday.

Official Art Club Meeting: Sept 21 @ 4pm

Our first official Art Club meeting of the fall 2016 semester will occur on Wednesday, September 21, from 4 p.m. – 5 p.m. in the art studio at Dunwoody, room NA 1150.

We will review the open club officer positions (Vice-President and Treasurer) first. All who are interested are welcome to apply – both new members and current members are eligible. More information about the roles of these positions will be explained and all who wish to throw their hat into the ring will be asked to share a brief statement of interest to the club members in attendance at the end of the meeting. Voting will occur directly following nominee statements.

We will also review important official club events that will be held this fall, the most pressing of which is the RISD Portfolio Review session with RISD rep, Antonio Peters, on Wednesday, September 28, from 4 – 5:30 p.m. in NA 1150. You will be able to sign-up for your own individual portfolio review at the meeting but you’re encouraged to attend the review even if you don’t want to share your work. You’ll learn a lot just by listening in on other students critiques and Antonio will share some of what RISD, the #1 art school in the nation, has to offer.

We will also discuss the upcoming Fall Student Show as well as some of the unofficial club events that you might want to participate in such as National Portfolio Day (9/25) and the October College Night at the High (10/21). You’ll be asked to also contribute ideas for (art or art-related) movies that you’d like to watch this semester and we’ll try to set up a few dates for these events.

We look forward to seeing you there! If you can’t make it, please check back on the website for follow-up information about anything you missed and contact the club advisor, Ms. Levacy, to sign-up for the RISD portfolio review (mlevacy@gsu.edu).
