9 May 2008, Greater Flint Arts Council, 816 S. Saginaw St., Flint, Michigan:
The patrons were serenaded by the University of Michigan-Flint Jazz Trio as they viewed a year in the life of University of Michigan-Flint art students and faculty. The walls were adorned by photographs, collages, paintings, drawings, sculpture, and more. Several patrons expressed to me how powerful the exhibit was and how it demonstrated superior accomplishment by the collective artists. I personally selected two favorites, awarding the Provost’s Award to Derek Mohamedally for Guardian Angel, a Silver Gelatin B&W Photograph, and awarding the Chancellor’s Award to Brandee Perigo for her graphic design Dr. Mr. President. These works will hang in the Provost’s Office and the Chancellor’s Office for the next year.
The awards were presented by Darryl Baird, Associate Professor and Chair of the Communication and Visual Arts Department. Best of Show went to Rhonda Patterson; Juror’s choice went to Anna Schuler; Artist’s Voice was presented to Taylor Confer; Honorable Mentions were earned by Francine Rock, Laura Luongo, Kathryn Pritchett. Todd Solgat, and Alisha Smith; the Dean’s Award was presented to Shannon Balanowski; Purchase Awards from the Annual Fund Grant were presented to students whose work was selected for display in the Michigan Legislature, Travis Larkin and Courtney Cook; the Patty Morello Memorial Award was earned by Stephanie Dubbs.
Congratulations to all who were exhibited and thank you to those who attended The evening was most pleasant. I enjoyed viewing the great work that has been accomplished this academic year.
