Students who participate in the Idea Lab program will have an innovative educational opportunity, as well as, a practical entrepreneurial experience.

Mural Painting


We are looking for a volunteer to paint on our baptistery's walls. We would like a realistic painting of a waterfall, as if the waters were falling from the heavens, with a dove descending. We have a picture attached of a waterfall that seems to fit the description, but it is too dark and there is no dove in this picture.

The baptistery has 3 walls: 5' w x 12' h; 7' w x 12' h; 5' w x 3'h

The artist is welcomed to submit his/her ideas based on our description, the picture we're providing is only to help aid the description of what we would like. The artist is also welcomed to read Matthew 3:13-17 and capture the scene of that scripture to be included in the drawing, although we do not want any pictures of people or any pictures representing what anyone thinks Jesus looks like.

We do not have the available funds to pay an artist's salary, but are willing to provide an offering along with the promise that the artist's name and information (should the artist choose) will be announced on our website for as long as we choose to keep the painting as a part of our baptistery. We would also provide a receipt for the proposed value of the art work to be included in the artist's tax returns as a tax-deductible charitable donation.

We can be reached at 614-337-2855, 614-580-0799, or 614-562-271.

Curricula emphasize development of individual or collaborative projects in preparation for careers in diverse institutional settings. Graduates work in gallery exhibition, university research, education, public service, curatorial work, and performance.

Student and faculty work is supported by staffed labs for traditional and contemporary media, including maintained spaces for digital imaging, audiovisual editing, rapid prototyping, darkroom and digital printing. Bookbinding and printmaking facilities are also available, as are kilns for firing in clay media.

As part of the College of Fine and Applied Arts at Illinois, the School of Art and Design offers ready opportunity for collaborations with the Krannert Art Museum and Krannert Center for the Performing Arts, and with active departments of Architecture, Landscape Architecture, Dance, Theater, and Music.

Through funding opportunities for research and travel, as well as occasional releases from teaching duties, these organizations contribute to a climate of rigorous production and inquiry.

As a Research I institution, the University of Illinois is strongly international, and recognized for excellence in the Sciences, Engineering, Humanities and the Arts.

These positions will hold teaching responsibilities in our BFA and MFA programs, while making their own work toward earning tenure. Faculty here teach five courses a year. They are well-supported toward tenure through research funding for production and travel, and are typically provided with studios and ample access to specialized production facilities. Faculty in Painting, Sculpture, and New Media share teaching responsibilities for the same students at the upper levels. We graduate about 40 BFA's a year in Studio Art, and another five or so MFA's each year. Our school also houses programs in Photography, Metals/Crafts, and Design.

We're located about 2.5 hours' drive from Chicago, Indianapolis, and St. Louis, in a place that holds many of the things one hopes for from a university town. Living here is pretty easy for those in education and the arts - housing is relatively cheap, and most any destination is within biking or walking distance. We have a good community of vibrant faculty here, many who moved from the coasts within the last several years and who are hungry to keep conversation and dialogue going.

Call for Entry: Art of Politics

“Art of Politics”
Exhibit at BoMA
October 22, 2008 5:00 pm to 10:00 pm

How to Apply
• Read this document in its entirety.
• Submit digital images of up to (3) entries (jpeg or tiff formats).
• One detail shot per entry is required and allowed.
• Provide artist’s name, and title, medium and dimensions of each submission.
• Submit digital images by e-mail by 5:00 pm on Friday October 17, 2008

Donations
Artists are asked to donate 50% of the sale of their political art to help elect Barack Obama. Each artist who sells their artwork at the exhibit will be asked to write a personal check to “Campaign for Change” which is Obama’s state level campaign. The checks will be collected by the exhibit coordinator. BRING YOUR CHECKBOOKS!

Requirements
• Price your work with the understanding that you will be donating 50% to the Obama Campaign.
• Because this is an exhibit to show our support for Obama and the fact that possibly youth will be attending the event, art should be appropriate for this venue.
• The exhibit review panel reserves the right to refuse to display any accepted work for any reason.
• Since the works will not be hung on walls, it will be necessary for each artist to provide their own easel for each art work (if this presents a problem, contact us). Artists submitting art that will not require easels such as sculptures will need to designate the amount of space required for their art and provide pedestals if necessary.
• All entries must be original works created by the artist.
• The exhibit review panel will bar all works altered from the submitted digital images.
• Reasonable care will be exercised by the “Art of Politics” Exhibit for Obama coordinators and its agents, but the exhibit coordinators or its agents are not liable for loss or damage of work either in its care or during transport. Insurance is the responsibility of the individual artists.
• Submission of an entry through emailing a jpeg or tiff of the art shall constitute agreement on the part of the artist to all conditions set forth in this prospectus.

Delivery and Pick Up of Art
All artwork approved by the exhibit review panel for the “Art of Politics” Exhibit for Obama must be delivered on October 22, 2008 (the day of the exhibit) by 12:00 noon to BoMA at 583 E. Broad St., Columbus, Ohio. Upon delivering artwork each artist will be required to sign a form restating the above requirements. Artists must pick up their art after the exhibit has ended on the night of the exhibit. If someone else will be dropping off or picking up your art, please notify the exhibit coordinator in advance.

Questions: email: artforObama@earthlink.net or call Jim Siemer (Exhibit Coordinator) at 614-313-6200

Free Dinner and Focus Group for Artist Live/Work Spaces

Free Dinner and Focus Group for artist live/work spaces
October 15th, 5:30 - 7:00 at Gladden Community House,
183 Hawkes Ave.
please RSVP to storsell@enterprisecommunity.org

The Franklinton Arts District is conducting a focus group to gather information about the needs and desires for artist live/work spaces.

There is great redevelopment potential for East Franklinton, and we hope to develop it in a way that benefits artists of low to moderate incomes by working with the local Community Development Corporation.

At FAD we'd like to see a new arts community spring up that offers not only the amenities that artists are looking for but also the opportunity for them to actually own their property. The positive impacts on Franklinton and the entire Columbus arts community could be immense. It is a certainly a lofty goal but we feel as if we are well positioned now to help make it happen. Of course the banks and the city will need to be convinced that the idea is sound and that the opportunity is real. If we build it, will they come? This is what we need to learn, and why we need your participation.

Please come out and have your ideas heard. A high turnout is necessary to send the message that this can work. It should be fun, and we are providing dinner for showing up!

Please contact Erica Post, Graduate Assistant to the Opera Director at post.86@osu.edu if you are interested. Thank you.

Second Life Art Exhibitions?

Hello, I am Rob Griffiths, an eLearning Consultant for TELR (Technology Enhanced Learning and Research) and coordinator of the Second Life project for Ohio State. Part of our vision for our Second Life presence is to foster community, and art shows are a wonderful way to build community and culture. Who may be a good person to talk to about working together to bring an OSU art show onto OSU's Second Life presence? Within Second Life, you can stream audio and/or video (so anything you may place on the web could also be played/heard/seen in-world), and you can also place images very easily in a gallery in-world. Set-up and space may be very simple or very complex...this even may be a way to extend your assumptions about exhibition space because you were always limited by physical space and properties.

Sincerely,
Rob Griffiths
