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.

Student Art Show Installation Complete!

The show installation was very successful today thanks to the help of Alex, Bakari, Darrin, Rosa, Rahatul, Leen, and Charles! This awesome bunch took on the challenge of hanging the 42 works submitted to the exhibition with excitement and a commitment to excellence (even though some tricky math was involved to get things just right).

Their efforts certainly paid off because the exhibition looks fantastic! Although the show looks complete, tags are currently missing which credit the artists of each work – these will be completed this weekend and added Monday morning for the official first day of the exhibition, October 24th.

The exhibition will be on view through Thursday, November 17th. All participants are invited to the reception and Awards Ceremony on Wednesday, November 16th from 5 – 7 p.m. Student voting for awards will be held between 5 – 6 p.m. and the official awards ceremony will take place at 6:30 p.m. Refreshments will be served and all are welcome to attend. Students with work in the show are strongly encouraged to attend the awards ceremony to receive any awards in person, however, if you are unable to attend any prizes or certificates will be available for you to pick up with your work at the end of the exhibition.

The works will be taken down on Friday, November 18th, between 9-10 am. If you have awards to pick up, you should contact Ms. Levacy (mlevacy@gsu.edu) if you will not be picking up your work from the library between 10 a.m. and noon on Friday. All works will be available for pick-up from the library after 10 a.m. on Nov. 18th during normal business hours through the end of finals week – please see the circulation desk as they will have to take you to where the works are being stored. Works left after the end of finals may be discarded.

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.
