Congratulations to Fall 2024 Materials Quik-Grant Awardees!
Each semester Art Practice undergraduate majors are invited to submit applications for a $200 grant, and we are pleased to be able to offset materials costs and help so many students in producing their artwork! Applications are juried by members of Art Practice staff, faculty, graduate students, and alumni. No images of work are requested, and jurors are not able to see the names of the applicants.
The jurors for this round were: Xandra Ibarra (Assistant Professor, Art Practice), Samuel Wildman (Sculpture Mechanician), and Zuhoor Al Sayegh (MFA'26). A total of 36 students applied and we were able to award 15 students with $3000 in monetary support, provided to us by the Toombs endowment fund.
