Every year, students are eligible to submit their portfolios for consideration for the following Art Department Awards:
The Wentz Most Promising Freshman Art Award
Endowed by Harold Wentz, this award is determined by the faculty of the Department of Art and Art History. The award goes to the student that, as a freshman, shows the most promise. (You do not have to be a decided Art major to apply for this award)
Outstanding Sophomore Award
A two hundred dollar award (for art supplies and/or books from the school book store which can be used during the junior and/or senior years of the recipient.) A 3.0 GPA in your art classes is required.
The Wasyl Palijczuk Art Award
Open to juniors who are art majors. This award is given to an outstanding art major who is currently completing their junior year.
The M. Louise Shipley Art Award for Excellence
This prestigious award was initiated in 1974 by Wasyl Palijczuk to recognize the many years of service by M. Louise Shipley, as a teacher and department head. The purpose of the award is to recognize the outstanding art student of the year and encourage others to strive for excellence in art. The award is in the amount of $250 cash. The candidate must be a graduating senior art major and must have met the requirements for departmental honors.
The submission deadline is FRIDAY MARCH 25 at 4:30 pm. Please drop off your work in the Rice Gallery
You should include what you feel is your absolute best work--we can meet individually and pick out pieces if need be--and submit roughly 10 pieces. Award winners will be chosen on Monday and you must pick up your work on Monday afternoon from the gallery. The awards will be given out at the student awards ceremony in April.
Please let me know if you have any questions and SUBMIT YOUR WORK IF YOU'RE ELIGIBLE!!!!
