Campus Wide Art Walk Will Be a Movable Feast
The Collegiate Art Department took on a big task this year -- curating and hanging a campus wide art show which reflects the artistic talent of Collegiate students K-12, all aligned on the single theme of place. The Collegiate campus will be turned into a giant art museum on Monday April 7 from 5-7 p.m. for Art Walk 2008, with outdoor installations, art you can get inside of, and a multitude of variations on a theme.
From the lobby of the Hershey Center to the courtyard between the
library and the middle school to the Estes Multipurpose Room, student
art will be everywhere that art can be hung or displayed. With live music along the route, and even golf carts to transport folks across campus, Art Walk 2008
will be a veritable movable feast. Fine Arts department chair Alice Massie says the theme was selected over a year ago, as the department envisioned the campus transformed by art.
Art is still being hung, installations still being installed, but by Monday evening hundreds of Collegiate works of art will be on display, reflecting the talent and vision of our students, and the strength of the Collegiate art department. Maps and gallery guides will be available, and each exhibit will have curator's remarks on posters, explaining the works nearby. Adopting an unconventional plan, art will be spread all over campus in such a way as to encourage those attending to see the whole "exhibit." Lower schooler art may be in the Hershey Center and senior art projects may be in the Lower School. One sure to be popular item: the Estes Multipurpose Room will house a twenty foot inflatable dodecahedron which visitors can walk inside of.
