Two recent initiatives of the Vera List Center for Art and Politics encourage students to get more deeply involved with the artworks around them.
The Vera List University Art Collection Writing Award honors the best essays or poems written by students in response to artworks on public display on campus. The first publication collecting winning entries from 2005/2006 is now available in newspaper format. It also serves as a call for submission for 2006/2007, with a deadline of December 14, 2006.
The center has also published a map of the campus to be used as a self-guided walking tour. The tour highlights works of art that relate to the Vera List Center’s 2006/2007 theme, “The Public Domain.” This attractive fold-out encourages students to take notice of and begin to analyze the collection’s vast offerings, and is available free of charge.
For further information and to receive email announcements of all VLC events, please contact kuonic@newschool.edu. Or drop by the Vera List Center office at 66 West 12th Street, room 903, to pick up your own copy of the newspaper and the walking tour.
