ACU A&D,

Easter Sunday is this weekend. I’m sure everyone is looking forward to a day off this Friday in observance of Good Friday. Please let us know if there’s anything we can do to help you.

Senior Shows & Congratulations!

Justine Garcia’s senior show opens tomorrow, April 1st at the Center for Contemporary Arts, downtown Abilene. Congratulations Justine for your acceptance into the painting graduate program of The American College of the Mediterranean in Aix-en-Provence in southern France.

A&D Bible Study

Due to the long Easter weekend and folks travelling, Art & Design Bible Study won’t meet this Sunday. We’ll pick up the following Sunday. I hope you travel safely and have a restful weekend!

Easter Blessing from Dan

And as we move through Holy Week toward Easter Sunday, I hope you will find comfort in the love of Christ for you personally. For those of us who are so used to hearing it, the news can sound like a cliche, but it’s actually true: He is a real person, who truly loves you, who actually did suffer and die on your behalf. He has defeated death, and though we often still walk through times of darkness (many of us may feel we’re there right now), He knows what it is to suffer, and will someday make all things right.

Freshman and Concentration Reviews

The first email for freshman reviews has gone out – please let us know if you did not receive it. Keep watching your email for additional information. Reviews will be held the last week of April.

Call for Entries – Great Opportunity!

This year marks the 63rd anniversary of the Permian Basin Juried Art Exhibition which promotes and celebrates practicing artists in West Texas and surrounding regions. In addition to over $2,000 in cash prizes and the chance at a solo exhibition, artists are able to list their works for sale with all proceeds going directly to the artist.  Please see the attachment for details. More information about the exhibition can also be found at www.noelartmuseum.org/juried-exhibition

Covid-19 Protocols Reminder

ACU’s policy remains in effect that masks are required in all buildings, including classrooms, and social distancing should be practiced. Thank you for continuing to do your part to keep yourself and our campus community safe.

Hello ACU A&D,

Well, I hope everyone is making it after the trauma of last week. I am not sure how much more we can all take. We are artists! We will survive! But seriously, if you need something or know of someone who needs some extra support please let us know.

New Admin Coordinator!

As I mentioned last week, Kara Taylor has started! Her hours will be limited on Monday and Tuesday but please make an effort to stop by and introduce yourself. You all are so good at making people feel welcome. It’s always nerve racking to start a new job.

Mandatory Meeting: THIS Thursday at 4pm (ZOOM)

This will be particularly important for our individual programs. Our plan is to break into smaller Zoom groups led by your specific program directors after a few general announcements. Please be sure to attend.

Senior Show: This Friday!

This one will also be in the library atrium, just outside the Maker Lab! But because of last week’s chaos we will be sending more information out on this later in the week.

A&D Bible Study

Art & Design Bible Study continues this coming Sunday at 6 p.m. in Bible room 121. Space is limited, so look for a sign-up list in your email later this week.

Interested in studying abroad for a full semester? Come to the interest meeting next Tuesday!

If you have an interest in studying abroad for a full semester please make plans to come to the Gallery next Tuesday, March 2nd at 11:15am! We will talk in general about the different semester programs, what they are like, why they are important, how they will change your life and how to make them work in your schedule.
