Our Crowdfunding Groups
The Art Department seeks to address the history of colonialism, racism, and discrimination in all forms that have historically steered the pedagogy of design, studio arts, and art history education, as well as the industries that accept our graduates. As a department we are committed to eradicating the injustices of the past by increasing the diversity of our student population which will in turn increase diversity in the field. In pursuit of this goal, we are establishing the Art Department Scholarship for Diverse Voices.
This proposed scholarship seeks to increase accessibility for students from diverse and/or socially and economically disadvantaged backgrounds to pursue a career in Art, Art History, or Visual Communication Design. This scholarship is aligned with the University’s commitment to diversity, inclusion and making higher education more accessible.
The scholarship will be awarded annually to a different student from the disciplines –Art, Art History, and Visual Communication Design. The scholarship recipient will be an exemplarily scholar, and/or visual communicator, with an interest in increasing diversity and social justice within our fields. The Department of Art Scholarship Committee will be responsible for administering and selecting the scholarship recipient. Its inaugural award will be in spring 2021.
The best quality paper and ink for the best quality photos to pay for a beautiful print job.
The cost of a full year's subscription to Adobe Creative Cloud software through CPP's program, required for school and work!
Stunning portfolios come at price. Even though much of today's work is shared digitally, it never hurts to have a beautiful book to hand to those hiring.
Art supplies are not cheap. $100 can cover a typical semester's worth of supplies... as long as we take advantage of those sales!
Gas, food, coffee, extra pencils and tracing paper because you ran out after creating hundreds of designs that just don't quite match what you're looking for. Yup, this pays for that.
A gift of $500 enables students to pay for print jobs, school supplies, or even help out on living expenses so that they have more time to focus on their work.
Aside from the traditional materials used in art and design, current needs also include technology. A gift of this amount will help students upgrade to the newest technology so that they can run their program at their best. 60fps here we go.
