DEPT OF INTERIOR DESIGN SEEKS STUDENT ARTISTS, ARTWORKS

Don W Collier, Program Director of Interior Design, is working on an interior design job here in Lubbock that is interested in using TTU students art work either on a permanent basis or on a rotating basis. They are looking for artworks on paper or paintings in an expressive manner either in color or black & white. The work could be large scale or a series that works together in an installation. The interiors are going to be very simple, clean line, modern and business like. There are 6 – 8 different areas that have been designed to feature art as a focal point.
The artwork will be installed in the offices of a wealth management company out of Florida in their Lubbock office. The budget is good.

TTU MUSEUM SEEKS TO FUND STUDENT RESEARCH RELATED PROJECTS

The Art Division of the Museum of Texas Tech has some monetary resources to encourage students—graduate or undergraduate—to use the Museum’s art collection in research or research-related projects. There are no disciplinary boundaries. Encouraging use of original art works in our collection in some meaningful manner is the target. The project may be historical, technical, cultural, sociological, anthropological, aesthetic, critical, interpretive, pedagogical or something altogether “other”? Funds can support class-based projects or independent projects.
