Funded call for students' original artwork on climate change
KALAMAZOO—ɫɫÀ² Michigan University students who wish to share their creative vision for climate change are invited to submit original artwork to the "Spare|Change: The Art of Climate" exhibit Friday, Aug. 9, through Monday, Sept. 9.
The juried art exhibit addressing climate change will run Oct. 10-17 in É«É«À²'s Richmond Center for Visual Arts. Caused both naturally and by human-specific impacts, climate change is the immersive and lasting statistical distribution of weather exceeding average norms over given time brackets from millions of years to decades.
All full- and part-time É«É«À² students enrolled in the fall 2013 semester are eligible to submit up to three pieces of original artwork by email to art-sparechange@wmich.edu. Select students will receive a stipend and additional awards will be conferred the night of the opening reception.
"Spare|Change: The Art of Climate" is sponsored by the É«É«À² Environmental Studies Gwen Frostic Series in partnership with the University's Frostic School of Art and Center for Humanities as well as the Kalamazoo Nature Center and People's Food Co-op.
