February Meeting Recap – We need your ideas this week!

During today’s meeting we reviewed the current status of the SAF grant budget for the term. Upon evaluating the available funds, club members are tasked with helping research ways that we can apply the funds before the end of the semester.

Because no event can be planned without 30 day’s notice, we are looking to hold 2-3 final events during the month of April and funding or supply requests must be made very swiftly in order for this to be possible in April. This means that any ideas you guys have need to be discussed this week so that we can move forward with the rest of the paperwork early next week. Currently, we have around $700 that can be used to host events, attend exhibitions (pay for admissions fees), or hold workshops.

Is there a gallery or museum, convention, or art fair that you’d like to go that has an admission fee that’s previously prevented you from attending? Is there an art technique or subject that you’d like to explore with your peers?

We also have $1500 currently planned for “display cases that help present exhibits of student work” on the Dunwoody campus – this can be your legacy as an art club – something that you encourage interaction with student art efforts on our campus. In what way might you like to experience student artwork on the campus?

Would you like to see additional display cases to be purchased for the library art gallery so that art students can continue to hold an annual Dunwoody art show in this space? Or perhaps you’d like to see some glass locked wall displays (somewhat like those that were once used by Student Life) in the B building where so many students interact on a daily basis?

As an additional wait, during the month of March, we’ll focus on more low-key / no cost events like movie days. Do you have preferences for which types of movies you’d like to see?

Leave comments on the Art Club blog post (below) with any ideas that you’d like the club to consider. We’d love to hear your suggestions. Additionally, there is a group chat in Remind that you can join or use to contact current active club members – your ideas are welcome through there as well.

Movie Days

Everyone looked at the available days and selected the following two for Art Club Movie Day! events. Bring your own snacks, popcorn and water will be provided.

  • Wednesday, October 26 – 4 – 5:30 p.m. in Art Studio (NA 1150)
  • Wednesday, November 9 – 4 – 5:30 p.m. in Art Studio (NA 1150

Movies have yet to be decided on and a future post will contain some options and you can put in your 2 cents by commenting on it. Most members seemed pretty excited about the idea of a Halloween themed movie on Oct 26 and the most promising suggestion seemed to be Nightmare Before Christmas which, of course, is VERY artfully done with excellent clay stop-motion animation.

Please comment on this post for any suggestions of what you would like to watch on these dates. Updates will be shared later on.

Fall Student Show

We discussed aspects of the student show and decided that we will allow those submitting work to bring up to 2 works, however, we will stipulate that only 1 work is guaranteed entry if space is limited and that if we cannot provide adequate safety of the work due to scale or presentation that we cannot ensure its inclusion.

We discussed eligibility of students and all agreed that if a current student is enrolled in at least 1 course on the Dunwoody Campus, they’ll be eligible to submit work and all majors are welcome (not just those in the arts). There was some concern over how to ensure that students created work while enrolled in GSU-PC (to prevent people from submitting work from high school or from decades ago) but it was decided that we should simply stipulate that this is an expectation and trust that people will comply.

Additionally, we talked about the closing reception and arrived at the conclusion that 5 – 7 p.m. on either Nov 16 or 17 works for most club members. These dates will be discussed further with the library to determine what will work best and updates will be made and released with the Call to Artists.

  • Oct 1: Call to Artists information released (website and FB)
  • Oct 19: Assistance with submission preparation at the club meeting.
  • Oct 17 – 21: Submissions accepted
  • Oct 21: Installation of Show (VOLUNTEERS NEEDED!!!)
  • Nov 16 or 17: Closing Reception & Awards Ceremony (Date & time confirmed soon)
  • Nov 18: Take-Down / Pick up of student work (VOLUNTEERS NEEDED!!!)

With regards to installation and take-down of student work – no previous experience is required! We need MORE people for installation than take-down and will be installing from 10 am – 5 pm with a break for lunch – you do not need to stay the whole day if you’re not available and even an hour of your time is beneficial! We will discuss this more at the Oct 19 meeting.
