UMD's Department of Art & Design opens it's doors to the public to view student work and facilities from 1pm-5pm on Saturday April 27. The Open Studio event includes classroom tours, demonstrations, hands-on activities, live music, and showcases of graphic design and visual art.

This is a great opportunity for future students, artists, and alumni to come see what's happening in Art & Design at UMD. 

6-8pm Annual Student Exhibition Reception in Tweed Museum of Art

After touring the Art & Design Open Studios during the afternoon, please join us in the Tweed Museum for the Annual Student Exhibition Opening Reception from 6-8pm. Awards Ceremony at 6:30pm! The exhibition reception will feature live music and refreshments and is also free and open to the public. 

Art & Design's Annual Student Exhibition features creative work across a range of media, including animation, ceramics, digital art, drawing, graphic design, interactive design, motion graphics, packaging design, painting, photography, printmaking, robotics, sculpture and video. The plurality of media and aesthetic approaches represented reflects the diversity of the department's students and faculty. This year's show was juried by Anne Dugan, Curator at the Duluth Art Institute, and Jenna Akre, a Minneapolis-based art director/designer and a 2005 UMD graduate. The exhibition runs April 9 - May 12, 2013 in the Tweed Museum of Art at University of Minnesota Duluth.

Joellyn Rock Erik Loyer will be a visiting artist on UMD campus on TUESDAY...
His Lecture is OPEN to the PUBLIC Tuesday March 5th at 6pm in Montague Hall

Erik Loyer is a media artist and creative director working at the intersection of interactivity, story, music and animation. As a digital media artist he often works in collaboration on creative projects that use emerging media such as iPads and game systems for innovative digital narratives and interactive poetic works... like STRANGE RAIN:
<iframe width="420" height="315" src="http://www.youtube.com/embed/5Ip6uCF1XwA" frameborder="0" allowfullscreen></iframe>

His work has been exhibited online and internationally at venues including Artport at the Whitney Museum of American Art; the Digital Gallery at the Museum of Contemporary Art, Los Angeles; the Prix Ars Electronica; Transmediale; and IndieCade. Loyer's award-winning website The Lair of the Marrow Monkey was one of the first to be added to the permanent collection of a major art museum, and his serialized web narrative Chroma went on to win the Best Digital Creation award at the Montreal International Festival of New Cinema and New Media. 
As Creative Director for the experimental digital humanities journal Vectors, Loyer has designed over a dozen interactive essays in collaboration with numerous scholars including the Webby-honored documentary Public Secrets, and his commercial portfolio includes Clio and One Show Gold Award-winning work for Vodafone, as well as projects for BMW, Sony, and NASA. 
He is the founder of interactive design studio Song New Creative, and develops story-driven interactive entertainment under the Opertoon label, including most recently a critically-acclaimed iPhone application entitled Ruben & Lullaby. A recipient of a Rockefeller Film/Video/Multimedia Fellowship, Loyer has a B.A. in Cinema/Television Production from the University of Southern California.

As some of you may have already heard the buzz about an "Open Studio" event which is in the works, I wanted to give you a special invite to take part in this great opportunity. Your fellow Art and Design students are putting together an "Open Studio" (like an open house) that will allow the public and other students the opportunity to see our amazing artwork and the studios we produce it in! All art majors are welcome to participate! The studios and organizations that are participating include Art Education, Art History Symposium, Photography, Digital Design, Ceramics, Sculpture, Painting/Drawing/Printmaking, Digital Arts and SDO (Student Design Organization). This event also gives us fellow Art and Design students the opportunity to see what the other area's are doing since we are spread over campus.

"Open Studio" will be held coincidentally during the local Galley Hop, which gives this event great potential. The Tweed Art Museum on campus is part of this "hop" and there will be a trolley service that will bring art enthusiasts from the downtown galleries to our very own campus. As a bonus the Annual Student Exhibition will be held later the same night. The open studio can also be seen as another opportunity to present any artwork that is not a part of the Student Exhibition.


Here are the dates and times:

"Open Studio" Saturday April 16th 11:00am-5:00pm
Reception for Student Exhibition April 16th 6:00pm-8:00pm

There will be more information to follow that can be found on our handy Face book page:

Note from Jim Klueg:

A&D majors and minors,

I just want to send my extra encouragement for you to submit your best work for this year's show. The show committee's worked really hard to make the process as easy (and inexpensive) as possible. 

Big improvement: online application means you don't have to drop off and pick up declined work and no 2-D work has to be framed until you know you're accepted. Also, you'll all be able to vote the first week the show's up for a Student Choice Award.

As you may remember from my previous email, this April 25-26 our department will be reviewed by a team from NASAD, the National Association of Schools of Art and Design. A significant part of how they'll rate us has to do with the quality of the work you do. We know you make some great stuff, but they won't unless you submit! It's especially huge to show up this time.

They'll also be an opportunity for you to meet with the team during their visit, and I'll send that out later. So send those files, shoot that work and let's make this year's show as good as we really are!

thanks,
Jim
