The Department of Art offers an opportunity for continued independent
study by a studio art major in the semester immediately following
graduation. This fellowship provides some financial support for
a semester of personal research to develop a stronger portfolio
in preparation for graduate work. The Fellowship in Studio Art provides
benefits and, with these benefits, come obligations to the Department.
BENEFITS:
A stipend is awarded and an additional budget is provided
to offset the cost of art supplies, and a working space is provided
in a given studio or elsewhere in the facility as available. All
equipment and handtools normally furnished for student use are at
the disposal of the Fellow.
OBLIGATIONS and DUTIES:
The Fellow is expected to furnish his/her own supplies beyond the supply budget, serve the Department by assisting with the installation
of student shows, help faculty with minor class related jobs, monitor
the studio in which he/she is working, give demonstrations in his/her
discipline and/or presentations of work in progress when called
upon, and present his/her work in a formal exhibition at the conclusion
of the semester.
APPLICATION PROCEDURE:
To apply for the Fellowship in Studio Art, interested senior studio
majors should present a letter of application to the Art Department
which addresses the following questions:
* Why is the Fellowship in Studio Art important and necessary to
me?
* What is the medium in which I plan to concentrate my study?
* What are the goals I have for production and conceptual development?
* What are my plans upon completion of the Fellowship?
In addition to the application letter, a portfolio of art work must
be presented for review by the Department. This folio should include
a variety of works, but focus on the media in which you wish to
concentrate. Ten to fifteen works are recommended for inclusion.
DEADLINE FOR APPLICATIONS:
The application and portfolio are due the 3rd week after Spring Break.
Please check back to be aware of any modifications as the deadline
approaches.
REVIEW COMMITTEE:
The committee reviewing applications is made up of all Art Department Faculty.
