Good morning,
Sending on behalf of Christine Holtz and the Art Gallery,
Kelley

Attention:

The SCC Annual Juried Student Art Exhibition is only on display in the Fine Arts building until Friday, May 3rd.  If you haven't already, please stop by to view a variety of artworks created by the talented SCC art department students!  Some of the work is even for sale!  If you are interested in purchasing a piece, please contact Christine Holtz (choltz@stchas.edu).

We are also very pleased to announce the recipients of several different awards from the show.  The visiting juror, Brigham Dimick, chose awards for each category in the show.  We also have a list of Boardroom Award winners.  These students had artwork chosen by the faculty to hang in the campus Boardroom in the Administration Building for a special six-month exhibition.  If you have any of these students in your class or see them on campus, please congratulate them on their award!

Thanks!

Spring 2013 - Advanced Digital Photography Book Projects are here!

For anyone interested in getting a sense of what we do in ART225 - Digital Photo II, here are our most recent editions to the collection of books that we have been creating over the past two years. I am really proud of all of the students and their hard work and enthusiasm that has gone into creating these books. The projects in themselves are a strong testament to commitment and an elongated exploration of an idea. These are a real treat. We spend nearly 2/3's of the entire semester working on a body of work that investigates a topic of their choosing and then we work through the process of organizing and shaping our photographs into a book format. We then publish them through blurb.com.  Check 'em out!!

A first-generation American goes in search of her identity and discovers that the cycle of gender violence she’s been working hard to break in the US is part of her history and culture on another continent. A Lot Like You raises questions about the cultures we inherit and what we choose to pass down, and reveals how bearing witness can break silences that have lasted lifetimes...

Seattle-based filmmaker Eliaichi “Ellie” Kimaro is a mixed-race, first-generation American with a Tanzanian father and Korean mother. When Ellie was older and in an interracial relationship of her own, she wanted to better understand this world her father had left behind when he was 18. So when Dr. Kimaro moved back to Tanzania for good, Ellie followed him to make a film about this culture she would one day pass down to her kids.

Doug Gaubatz - An Exhibition

"Some of you know Doug Gaubatz from his classes at UMSL, Flo Valley, and other campuses, some of you know him from Schiller Photo and Sound where he spends time selling photo equipment, some of you do not know him at all.  But if you want to see some excellent work that will stop you in your tracks, I would urge you to see this exhibit while it's up.  There is a reception for the exhibit this Thursday, January 31, 2013, 4-7pm, but even if you can't make the reception you owe it to yourself to see the show.  Lovely, lovely images."  --Mark Fisher

Please join me on Feb 22, 2013 @ the Sheldon Art Galleries

Ok folks! This is my big show that I have been working on for a while. 

It would mean a ton if you could come out and join us opening night.

The cover of the book just so happens to be one of my images...  Yay!

The books are selling for $29.95 at the reception.
