Dean's Art Awards Enter Now

 

“The world is wide, and I will not waste my life in friction when it could be turned into momentum,” declared suffragist Frances E. Willard.  Momentum suggests an impetus, a strength or force leading toward change, something new, something moving.
We invite submissions for the Fourth Annual Dean’s Art Award, art that speaks of MOMENTUM.  Show us what momentum is and what it does.
Submission deadline:  March 30th, 2015

Overview

The Dean’s Art Award recognizes student achievement in the field of visual arts and allows the Dean’s Office to directly connect with the student body through the award submission and selection process.  For this award, students submit their own works of visual art to a selection committee comprised of faculty, staff, and student leadership in the Dean’s Office and the Ernest G. Welch School of Art & Design.  The committee welcomes submissions from all students (undergraduate and graduate) in the College of Arts and Sciences.
Awards will be made for First Place ($350), Second Place ($150), and Honorable Mention. All selected pieces will be exhibited in the Dean’s Office throughout the 2015-16 academic year.
