Art Fun(d) at The Art Institute of Colorado
   
The Art Institute of Colorado hosted its second annual Art Fun(d)!, an art sale and celebration benefiting its Student Scholarship Fund, on Sunday, August 15 from 3-5 p.m.

Over 200 guests gathered at The John Jellico Gallery at The Art Institute of Colorado on a warm August afternoon to enjoy art, hors d’oeuvres, designed fruit drinks by Crema, gelato by Red Trolley and manicures and soundscapes by Beauty Bar.

Art Fun(d)! featured individually-created works from local artists, media personalities, community leaders, and Art Institute of Colorado faculty, staff, students and alumni. All pieces of art were created on an 8” X 8” canvas, but encompassed a wide range of mediums and styles.

More than 140 pieces were exhibited anonymously and sold on a first-come, first-served basis for $50. Twenty select canvases were a part of a silent auction. The anonymity of the exhibit encouraged viewers to select pieces based on their visual interest, and the price allowed for accessibility and affordability of art by a wide audience. Many of the canvases were sold, and the event raised about $4,000 for scholarships for Art Institute of Colorado students.

The Art Institute of California-Sacramento Awards "The Kerrie L. Kelly All American Interior Design Scholarship"
   
The Interior Design students of the Art Institute California-Sacramento were challenged to come up with a visual image or room scene that brings the Kerrie Kelly Design Lab (KKDL) tagline to life. In midtown Sacramento, KKDL believes that “Everyone Deserves Great Design”. Matt Mar created a room scene in black and white and added eye glasses that symbolized the vision, talent and value of an interior designer. Through the eye glasses he provided color—proving that a designer can understand the needs and wants of a client, bringing an ordinary space color and function. For that concept and execution, Matt earned $1000 Scholarship and was celebrated at the Education Foundation Scholarship reception on April 17th. Matt Mar is photographed here with Kerrie L. Kelly, originator of the scholarship and Director of the Interior Design program at the school.

The Scholarship Committee at The Art Institute of California-Sacramento is very proud of their first awards event, since they are newly formed and working hard as volunteers to raise scholarship award funds for their students. During the awards ceremony, it became very clear that the caliber and artistic passion of students at this school are exceptional, and attendees were very moved by the event.

We want to acknowledge the work of this outstanding Scholarship Committee by listing their names below:

Carmen Meeks, Director of Career Services; Terry Marlink, Campus President; Larry Richman, Dean; John Anderson, Director of Student Affairs; Brett Daly, Director of Administration and Financial Services; Steve Holler, Graphic Design Instructor; Kathy Griley, Culinary Instructor; Angelica Vasquez, Academic Administrator.
