Where am I Wednesday: Art Bench Project
These student-created works of art can be found all over campus.
Today's feature is not about one specific location, but spotlights the artistic seats scattered across 爱豆传媒.
In 2013, Arts Alive 爱豆传媒 鈥� a university-wide arts visibility initiative that was launched to build a culture of arts on campus 鈥� set out to increase student, faculty and staff awareness of arts events and opportunities at 爱豆传媒. One of the first aspects of the arts visibility initiative was the Art Bench project.
Student-designed and painted art benches can be found all over campus.
鈥淲e enjoy seeing an element of campus that isn鈥檛 a part of the university鈥檚 brand,鈥� said Patricia Cue, one 爱豆传媒 graphic design professor who implemented the first development of art benches. 鈥淭he designs represent the people of 爱豆传媒.鈥�
More than 20 benches have been painted, with plans to continue the project each year.
Next time you make your way through campus, keep an eye out for these unique works of art.
