Art Club Merit Awards:
Juror’s Choice Awards, selected by both Tamika Barnes and Pat Ziebart:
There is a campus-wide student art show on the Clarkston campus each spring for art majors. If you meet the requirements, you are strongly encouraged to submit work to this forthcoming exhibition. Opportunities like the Dunwoody Student Art Show and other student shows provide exposure for your art as well as practice presenting your work professionally – this is of great benefit to artists who wish to build a portfolio for transfer!
Thank you to everyone from the Art Club who helped with the reception and exhibition as a whole, and especially to both Pat Ziebart and Tamika Barnes for their contributions as both facilitators and jurors for the show.
All works not picked up on Friday, November 18th, are currently being stored in the closet near the elevators in the LRC (library) near the gallery area. Students may request to pick up work at the front desk or help desk. All works not picked up by the end of the day, December 16th, 2016, risk being discarded. Please email Ms. Levacy <mlevacy@gsu.edu> if you need to make alternative arrangements or need to pick up an award.
The following are just a few photos from the nights events – more photos are available on the Art Club’s facebook page.
As you are aware from recent posts, the Art Club will be able to vote for a select number of awards. Any currently active (as per the club guidelines) member of the Art Club may select works which they feel deserve special recognition. These awards recipients will receive a certificate of recognition for their achievement.
Club members will receive the following ballot at the meeting before the reception, November 16th (4 p.m. in NA 1150).
If you will not be able to attend the meeting and/or the reception and still wish to share your thoughts on these award categories, please send a list of your selections to Ms. Levacy <mlevacy@gsu.edu> before 3:30 p.m. on the 16th to have your vote tallied.
