Stephanie Garmey’s Mixed-Media Bookarts class has an exhibition hanging in the Fox2 gallery now through next Monday, Nov. 7th.
This is a brand new class to MICA and the Bookarts Concentration, having started in Spring 2011. The show will contain work from both semesters of the class.
Don’t miss it!
A brief set of minutes from the IFPDA Trip Meeting on 10/12:
-Applications for the Paper exhibition were due by Monday, Oct 17th.
-Job offerings for 2D prototyping were offered up. I believe the positions have been filled.
-NOTES ON FACILITIES:
-Juniors and Seniors – please send all your artwork documentation and images to Robert Tillman: rtillman@mica.edu.
The weekend of November 5th is the PRINT FAIR in NYC. The major locations for the weekends events are:
-IFPDA: International Fine Print Dealers Association (uptown)
-E/AB: Editions/Artists Books Fair (downtown)
-There’s a very very good lecture on Saturday afternoon you should try to attend: “Print/out” Christophe Cherix and Faye Hirsch
-Full list of participants and affiliated exhibits is on the above websites.
We also discussed the department reimbursing students for travel expenses to this event:
Reimbursement: Must go to Fair with group on Saturday November 5
All Senior Majors who go, and first ten Junior Majors will get $30 for travel and the department will pay admission to the fair ($10)
We must pre-book tickets and reserve seats for the lecture…
MUST CONFIRM TODAY OR EMAIL EVA BY MONDAY AT 5 PM ewylie@mica.edu
Registration for reimbursement is over; no new students will be allowed to register. Students who have already registered for reimbursement must attend the IFPDA Fair at 1:00 PM on Saturday November 5, and will be required to provide documentation of their attendance.
*NOTE* Even though the department bus tickets and fair tickets are sold out, you are still encouraged to attend! The IFPDA Print Fair is a very fun event and a great reason to visit NYC (on what is usually a very nice time of the year). We recommend BOLT BUS for tickets. Stay with a friend!
There is no need to travel on Saturday specifically, just show up at the appointed times that day if you want to tour with Robert and Eva.
More specific details will follow. The general schedule for Saturday’s tours will be the E/AB fair in the morning (11:30AM) and then the IFPDA Fair in the afternoon (1PM). The “Print/out” lecture starts at 2PM. If you want to attend this lecture, you MUST reserve your seat here.
In an attempt to reach you more easily, we are streamlining a few things on our digital end.
Firstly, we are updating our mailing lists to a new system, new servers, and our emails can now be directed to specific groups of you (i.e. Sophomores have no need to hear about Senior Studio clean-out…)
If you’re not on our mailing list at all yet (shame on you), please sign up with the form on the bottom of the right-hand column on this page, or click here. Please tell us what year you graduate, whether you’re a major or concentrator, and any other pertinent details we’re looking for. You’ll receive a double opt-in email to confirm your subscription.
If you’re already in our system CLICK HERE TO UPDATE YOUR INFORMATION. If you’re new to the email-list, then it’s a simple sign-up. If you are already in the system, you’ll be prompted to UPDATE your information. This is also how you’ll want to unsubscribe if you no longer need to hear from us. (Both of these involve email confirmations, so check your spam filter if you don’t see the emails.)
AND! GREAT NEWS! The first FIVE (5) people to update or add their information in our system will receive FREE PAPER (genuinely nice stuff too!). So go! Do that now!
*******************************************
Secondly, we’re happy to say we’re now on Twitter as @MICAprintmaking. This is an experiment in short-order news notifications. If you’re on twitter, please follow us there to get updates. If you’re not on twitter, you can see our twitter-stream ticker on the right-hand side of this page. We’ll be using this for quick news and last-minute reminders, stuff that may not warrant a full email, but that we still want to tell you.
That’s all – thanks for your cooperation!
We’ll see you on the internet.
