Welcome to the 2024 Spring Art Show!
Greetings from the Diversity and Inclusion Committee,
A generous donor, who is committed to the arts, continues to support the campus by providing awards for a campus-wide art show, Matters of Heart: Matters of Art. Participation is open to everyone, employees and students alike. The theme is “Art as Social Commentary.” Erika Lett, one of the co-chairs of the Diversity and Inclusion Committee shares this as a guide to what the committee is expecting:
“We are inviting you to express your passion for any socially relevant experience. In the process, we ask that all artistic expressions submitted are appropriate for viewing by all ages and demonstrate respect for everyone/all viewers. A-B Tech has the right not to use any submitted images from a participant at the reviewing committee's discretion.”
Here are the logistics.
- All submissions will be electronic. Visit the Art Show Submission Form to fill out the submission form. You can submit up to two pieces of art. Take a picture of your art piece and follow the directions on the submission form.
- Artwork will be shown on the campus website as well as on the various displays throughout our campus as digital images/virtual art show.
- The committee asks that artists submit current work from 2022 until the present.
- All submissions are due by Friday, March 29, 2024.
- Recipients will be honored during the Earth Day Activity Day, on Wednesday, April 17, 2024.
- Please come to SYM 201 to support our artists from 12:30 p.m. – 1:30 p.m.
- The committee understands that students and college employees may need to leave in time to get to a 1:00 class, so the presentation of the awards will occur by 12:40 p.m.
- We invite the award recipients to share a few insights about their work and creative process, should they feel comfortable doing so in the time remaining.
- Awards:
- First Place - $400.00
- Second Place - $300.00
- Third Place - $200.00
Our donor continues to support global artists, and this is an opportunity to share your unique voice and vision.
The Diversity and Inclusion Committee thanks everyone in advance for participating.
