About the AIGA World Studio Scholarship - Applications are due April 16
AIGA Worldstudio scholarships benefit minority and economically disadvantaged students who are studying art and design disciplines in colleges and universities in the United States. Our primary aims are to increase diversity in the creative professions, and to foster social and environmental responsibility in the artists, designers, and studios of tomorrow. Scholarship recipients are selected not only for their talent and their need, but also for their demonstrated commitment to giving back to the larger community through their work. Each award is paid directly to the recipient’s school and applied toward tuition. Since its inception in 1995, AIGA Worldstudio scholarships has awarded over one million dollars to over 700 minority and economically disadvantaged college students of art and design. This is a program of AIGA's Diversity & Inclusion initiative, in partnership with the Worldstudio Foundation. Apply today! Apply only through AIGA’s official online application system. We cannot guarantee the accuracy of application details provided on third-party sites.

The Summer Academy is a weeklong intensive program exposing undergraduate students to museum professions through workshops, behind-the-scenes tours, field trips, and networking events. Upon completion of the Summer Academy, participants have the opportunity to apply for a two-year curatorial fellowship. The Summer Academy will be held June 17-24, 2018. Established in 2013, the Andrew W. Mellon Summer Academy and Undergraduate Curatorial Fellowship Program provides specialized training for students from groups historically underrepresented in the curatorial field and those who support the goal of promoting inclusive, pluralistic museums. With generous support from the Andrew W. Mellon Foundation, the Art Institute is thrilled to announce the five-year renewal of this grant program. For more information and to apply, visit artic.edu/mellon. Questions? Contact Felicia Mings at fmings@artic.edu. Download the Summer Academy flyer. Watch our Curatorial Fellows video. The stars! The clothes! The music! With its February 16 release date approaching, everyone is experiencing Black Panther fever. While we still have to wait for the early reviews (Issa Rae’s one-minute take: “Wooooooooo!”), the hair critics have already ruled that everyone looks fantastic. Ahead of the movie’s premiere, the Cut talked to the head of Black Panther’s hair department, Camille Friend. The movie’s hair wizard explained the month-long process of creating Angela Bassett’s wig, why Michael B. Jordan needed to wear extensions, and what it was like working on a film that celebrated natural black hair. Read more on The Cut... February 14 - March 20, 2018 Laurie Shaman: "Drawn to Clay" Gallery Talk by the artist and reception: Wednesday, February 14, 2018 at 3:30 p.m. Please Note: The SXU Gallery will be closed for Spring Break: March 5-11. Laurie Shaman is a Chicago-based artist, whose ceramic work is shown regularly in galleries and exhibitions across the country. It can also be seen in two Lark publications: The Best of 500 Ceramics and 500 Vases: Contemporary Explorations of a Timeless Form. When she was Director of Lill Street's gallery, she curated dozens of group and solo exhibitions involving ceramic artists of local and national prominence. In 2009, she created a six-panel ceramic mural "In the Swim," commissioned by the Public Art Program, City of Chicago, now installed and on view at the Hayes Park Natatorium in the Ashburn-Wrightwood community. Ms. Shaman states "I make tabletop and wall pieces in porcelain or stoneware using primarily slab-built techniques, with an eye on developing shapes and contours that best provide the surface for my hand drawn imagery. These forms thus become a canvas for depicting scenes that combine my interests in travel, art history and the natural world. The vases, vessels and wall pieces I make today evolved naturally over time from a strong foundation producing utilitarian pottery, as well as having an ongoing practice of creating works on paper with a variety of drawing techniques. These once separate pursuits have been the basis of my ceramic work, and combined, produce for me the greatest satisfaction: merging the painted surface to three-dimensional form."
