ART
DEPARTMENT > ARTIST GUILD
Artist
Guild
The purpose of the Artist Guild is to promote active participation
in the visual arts; to build cameraderie and solidarity among art
majors through cooperation on shared projects, to plan group trips
to museums and galleries, to foster student development of artistic
abilities, to research and recommend possible visiting artists or
lecturers, and to vigorously discuss and debate aesthetic issues
in an open forum. Professor Thomas
Payne is the adviser.
The Artist Guild is
a student-run organization that meets twice a month to discuss departmental
projects and general management. In the past, the Artist Guild has
created a coloring book for community children, done a sculpture
for campus display, sponsored a field trip to Minneapolis, and aided
various other departments of the college. |

and Des Moines. Often students determine where and when the trips
take place. The department has sponsored a May Term course in
Italy. Students stay in Florence for two weeks and Rome for another,
with a two-day trip ending stop in Amsterdam.
