Art and Art History students participating in SAIL (Student Artist Initiative for Leadership) with Professor Ray DiCapua are engaged in projects to transform the Department. They’ve installed a chalkboard mural space in one hallway to host student work, are building an alumni network to enhance professional development, and have begun a series of video conversations, “Art ReStart,” to explore what it means to be an art student: http://vimeo.com/channels/607421
The SAIL group has approached its mission with energy and creativity. “In my 30 years of teaching here, I have not witnessed anything quite like this,” notes Professor DiCapua, the group’s faculty mentor.
Faculty and professional staff are visiting with the group and offering advice and support for the different projects. Stay tuned as the work progresses!
