WU Art & Community Project

[Nicole Petrescu]

Purpose:
WU Art & Community Project is seeking opportunities for student and faculty artwork to be displayed throughout WU campus, at different locations, such as: the Law School, the new Siegel and Danforth Halls, etc. Many WU administrators and Chairs have expressed interest in promoting and displaying university artwork for varying periods of time.
-All art students, alumni, and faculty (painters, sculptors, designers, print makers, photographers) are invited to upload images of their available work at http://artintheworld.ning.com/photo. Digital images of proposed art works may be uploaded and edited in the PHOTOS folder, and, after being approved, will go in the WU Portfolio Selection ALBUMS, for easy access by curators and requesting departments. All submitting students should consider presenting works ready for installation (framed, wired, etc)
Why loan our works, you may ask…


Benefits:
I believe all parties involved will benefit from this effort:
-students and faculty promote the arts and present their work while giving back to the community;
-campus buildings benefit from a free service while decorating their common spaces;
-art is reaching for the audience rather then a selected audience reaching for the art;
-and yes, if we are lucky, we may even sell some of our work;
-the project promotes the Art Department and WU as a whole, and underlines its cultural significance.
-our effort and dedication will make Washington University even a better place for all



Details:

-WU interdepartmental umbrella insurance coverage will insure the artwork at its fair market value.
Pieces are loaned free of charge for the first 3 months; at the end of that period, the borrower may purchase the pieces for the insured/contracted $ value, or rent them for 5% per month, check written directly to the artist each month.
-Eventual proceeds from the sales will be dispersed as such: 70% goes to the student / artist, 15% to the operating cost fund, and 15% will contribute to a future scholarship fund for the Art Department. The artist is responsible for distributing the 30% commission to Becky Dale (the Art Department) or Nicole Petrescu (the custodian).
- Deans Binnington, Leax, and Colangelo, as well as the WU Legal Counsel and the Painting Department all approved and encouraged the creation and the development of the project.
-Nicole Petrescu, graduate student, will curate the new submissions every week.

Nicole,

Thanks you so much for organizing the Art and Community Project at Washington University. The staff and students in Eads Hall have commented to me many times over the past week to say how much they love having artwork in our building. You can expect to be contacted very soon by other staff who have asked me how I got the paintings! So be prepared!

Thanks!
Marcia Mannen

I wanted to say how very excited and happy the Political Science Department is with the WU art project. We love getting an array of art to display throughout our department. We believe this benefits the artist as well as beautifying our department. Nicole has been great in getting all the logistics set up and the artist seem very interested and excited as well. We look forward to continuing with this project.

I wanted to comment to say how wonderful this project is! After moving to Seigle Hall we were delighted to find this project in place and also the ease in working with Nicole from start to finish. The peices we have received have already generated much interest in the artists by our faculty and students. We look forward to participating in this project for years to come!

p.s. Nicole, we have another order coming your way very soon!

I just received three pieces for my office walls, and they are lovely -- anyone who wants to can come by and check them out in Rm. 109. Many student pieces are up in Seigle Hall, Simon Hall, and A-B Hall.

Please consider helping Nicole's program to grow by supporting student art!
