Program News
In the Fall of 2010 the Art Program rolled out a unique, cuttingedge
major in Art + Design, combining studio practice and digital
design within a broad liberal arts education. The major presents
a radical vision of integration, ingenuity, sustainability and
community. Recruitment has been strong with over 45
applications in the first year of the major.
In Spring of 2011 a new minor in Art + Design replaced Digital
Illustration to align the major and minor.
Events
The art program provided oversight for the wildly successful
Butler Creates: An Alumni Exhibit. The exhibit drew alumni
artists from all Butler colleges and programs from a wide range
of graduation dates. The exhibit was beautiful, well attended and
will become an annual event.
At the end of each semester the Art Program sponsors “Art Now,”
a huge student exhibit held in the Reilly Room. The Fall 2010
show was better than ever and welcomed work from students of
Dr. Deb Skinner, College of Business and Dr. Jason Goldsmith
of the English department.
In the Spring semester the art program initiated an Art + Design
lecture series. Speakers included David Russick, chief designer
of the Indianapolis Museum of Art, Craig McCormick,
photographer and principle of Blackline Studio and Brandon
Judkins, (’00), director of programming for the Indiana
Humanities Council and chairman of the board of the
Indianapolis Museum of Contemporary Art.
