Your ARTS Education stARTS Here!

School is back in session after a pretty hectic summer vacation. A lot of time was spent getting the new ARTS building ready to go, ordering new equipment, and trying to be ready for the opening day of the Fall semester.

Last Saturday we had the Opening Celebration of the building and it was a huge success. Over 300 people showed from the community, Butte students and faculty, and local artists. The event was catered, with wine, live music, theater events and a reception for the first exhibition in the new gallery space.

I was so busy giving tours, that I didn't have time to meet and speak with everyone I would have liked, but those who did get tours were really impressed by the new labs and equipment we have available for students.

There are new art signs on the backs of the buses and a new billboard on highway 99 for the new arts campaign: Your Arts Education stARTS HERE!

CHECK this out. A student in my MSP 74 design class let me know about a typography Website that offers users the ability to create random type designs. It adds some pretty nice designs to the type. Click here to view the site.

More to come. -Daniel
