Longtime IL Dept friend Greg Christie’s latest book, “Bad News for Outlaws” got a nod from Blogger Barb Langridge in a segment on her picks for WBALTV Channel 11. Greg’s award-winning books have been the focus during two residencies in the IL Dept. See more of Greg’s work at http://www.gas-art.com/

The work in this exhibition represents 3 years of the IL Department course The Lab. In this course, students have realized a project of their choice with 25 prototyped samples of their One Good Idea. They also learned how to promote their creative expressions, build a Creative Brief, research fabricating costs and learn if this Good Idea is worth pursuing further. The class motto is Conceive, Articulate, Create, Fabricate & Disseminate!
Congratulations to the IL students involved in the 2009 MICA Art Market. Our tables were the highest grossing coming in at $11,275.50! By all accounts this was a great experience for the every student who registered to sell. For the first time, one entire class [The Lab] participated as part of the class curriculum. Both Allan Comport and Whitney Sherman, coordinators for IL, were super pleased with how enthusiastic and organized the IL students were during the market’s 4 day run. A belated thanks to all the IL students who not only made great work, but did a fabulous job marketing, merchandising and doing sales! If you didn’t participate in Art Market this year, please ask about it and consider it for next year.
