Fellow students will be able to choose which piece they like the best within different categories of Art. The categories include 2D (things like drawings and paintings), 3D (which includes ceramics and sculptures), and reproducibles (photographs or things that can be reproduced). We will also have the Dean of CLA, a representative from the Weisman Art Museum and local professional artists come to decide their favorite piece and hand out awards.

The event will take place on Tuesday, Nov. 29, from 9 a.m. to 4 p.m. and Wednesday, Nov. 30 beginning at 9 a.m. An awards ceremony to honor winners will begin at 2 p.m. and this will conclude the event.

This year, we are looking for any acoustic and/or Acapella groups that would be interested in entertaining the guests and artists at the Art Fair. We will be holding auditions on November 2 from 6:30 to 9:30 p.m. in Coffman 301!

If you are interested in submitting your work into the 2011 CLA Art Fair, or auditioning to be the entertainment, or if you have any questions please contact either Heather Meyer (meye1476@umn.edu) or Hannah Erickson (eric2750@umn.edu).

We will have FREE Mesa Pizza and beverages for everyone attending. 

This is a chance for CLA Students to tell us their concerns and express them to the board which we will communicate to the Dean of CLA.  Our goal of this event is to figure out what is causing students difficulty so we as the Student Board can better CLA. 

The event will be held in STSS Room 312 from 4:45-5:45 P.M on Wednesday October 12, 2011. 

We look forward to seeing you and hope you can help us discover what is needed to better CLA!!
