Eastern Illinois University students to receive awards for the 2010 Undergraduate All-Student Show and honors selected by the Art faculty will be announced at a public awards reception 2-4pm on Sunday, February 28, at the Tarble Arts Center. The awards presentation begins at 2:30pm. Admission is free and the public is invited. The All-Student Show will remain on exhibition at the Tarble through March 28.
A panel of jurors chose the art for the exhibition and the recipients of the Best-of-Show award, the Sarah Wozencraft Cox Two-Dimensional Award, the Bill Heyduck Ceramics Award, the Carey Knoop Sculpture Award, and the Merit Awards by media -- ceramics, design (2-D, 3-D or photography), digital art, drawing, electronic media, fibers, graphic design, jewelry/metals, painting, printmaking, and sculpture. The award winners were selected from the artworks chosen for the exhibition by the jurors. A total of 335 entries were submitted by 101 students.
Additional awards and recognitions to be announced were selected by the EIU Art faculty. These include the Chairman’s Award, Paul T. Sargent Award, Calvin Countryman Award, Paul Rand Award, Graphic Design Recognition Award, Susan Stephens Memorial Award, Irene Couchman Buzzard Scholarship, June Krutza Art Scholarship, Miranda Rice Weiss Art History Scholarship, and Outstanding Senior Award. These awards are made possible by donors to the EIU Foundation.
The Undergraduate All-Student Show is open to all undergraduate students at Eastern who have taken at least one studio art course since last June. Art in media representing the various studio and graphic design areas taught through the EIU Art Department are presented in this competitive exhibition. A complete listing of students represented in the exhibition will be released after the awards are announced.
