16 November 2007 Arts Collective Installation

This week, to celebrate the end of a successful first semester as a club, the HWS Arts Collective installed a disassembled outdoor art exhibit at various locations around campus. The pieces which are actually individually themed puzzle pieces have been placed in 13 academic buildings. (See map.) They will remain there until next week, when they will be taken down, assembled and displayed as a whole after Thanksgiving Break.

This installation pays homage to Pistols & Poodles, a group of rogue student artists who would surreptitiously place pieces of art around the campus during the night to beautify the buildings and grounds.

The Arts Collective, a student-run, student-created artistic outlet, is also holding a Techno/Graf-Art party for Arts Collective members at the Kappa Alpha Society this Saturday as well as a public fashion show in December. In the spring, they will host various events, so keep an ear open.

All artists visual artists, musicians, writers, dancers and others are welcome to join and attend meetings. For more information, contact Meggie Schmidt at meghan.schmidt@hws.edu or Andrew Ockenden at andrew.ockenden@hws.edu.
