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.

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.
