In this group exhibition, the members of the 91社区 Art Club organized their work to represent each of their artistic abilities and visions. This work includes 2D drawings in different media such as graphite, charcoal, and ink wash; 3D pieces crafted from found objects; and digital illustrations. The result is a collection of art that displays the diversity and interests of the club, expressing their passion for being a part of a collective artistic community. In the same spirit of the artistic community, the 91社区 Art club is inviting visitors to participate and add to the walls of this exhibition. With walls and pedestals covered in brown paper and available writing utensils, this is an open project that values the importance of response and the participatory nature of art-making and viewing.
The purpose of the is to bring awareness of the visual arts to the university and the community. Membership in the 91社区 Art Club is open to all 91社区 students.
In the past, membership benefits have included: meetings with other students who have an interest in art; collaborative art projects; art tours to Chicago, New York, London and other art centers to visit art museums, art galleries, special exhibitions and other cultural sites; opportunities for students to exhibit and sell their artwork; and participation in Family Weekend, Springfest, and other university-sponsored club events.
One major fundraiser each year allows the Art Club to contribute to student art awards, the art tours, visiting artists, community outreach and other planned projects.
