For Anthony Mead, director of Transylvania University\u2019s Morlan Gallery, evaluating the campus\u2019s artwork and placement with an eye toward increasing student representation is a way to build community while also creating an aesthetically pleasing space. Mead remembers his time as an undergraduate studying next to pieces of art that he still misses, noting that art \u201chas a way of giving people a sense of belonging and telling a story in a way that really connects emotionally with people.\u201d <\/p>\n\n\n\n

In May 2022, Mead began chairing a campus Visual Arts Committee composed of members from multiple areas of campus, making a conscious decision to represent different voices and constituencies when selecting campus artwork.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Along with Mead, representatives from the Office of Marketing and Communications, the director of the library, director of spirituality and religious life, vice president for diversity and inclusion and a studio art faculty member are all involved in the decision-making process. This particular composition allows the committee to consider the artwork as part of the university\u2019s overall presentation, while ensuring that Transylvania\u2019s history is honored, people from all backgrounds are represented and student perspectives are intentionally considered.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Committee member Susan Brown, director of the library, has extensive experience supporting student art. Since joining Transylvania in 2002, she has filled the library with an array of student artwork, often personally purchasing pieces directly from the juried student art show, an annual event in Morlan Gallery open to all enrolled Transylvania students.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cI wanted to make sure that the library had representative artwork from our students,\u201d Brown said. \u201cStudents can look around at the walls and say, \u2018Hey, that\u2019s someone who is also a student.\u2019\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cI\u2019m excited that the committee has been formed and we\u2019re taking a look at what\u2019s being placed in the different buildings,\u201d she added, noting that the committee structure means that artwork is now chosen \u201cin a more democratic way so that there\u2019s more representation from various folks around campus.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The committee initially identified high-priority areas around campus \u2014 including the Old Morrison Chapel, Carpenter Center and Campus Center \u2014 and worked to place or replace art in those spaces. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

The first change took place in the Old Morrison Chapel, where the committee selected two pieces from the most recent juried student art show. Resembling large tapestries, the art embodied \u201ca certain spirit that was appropriate for that place,\u201d Mead explained. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Changes were also made in multiple Campus Center locations, including a hallway on the second floor, the hallway outside of classroom 118 and in the Hearth Room. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

The second floor space, located outside of the health clinic and Student Life lounge, had traditionally displayed SGA artwork, and the committee wanted students to continue to have control of the area. In order to make it easier for students to rotate the artwork on a semiregular basis, they installed a temporary art hanging system before reinstalling the original art, including images inspired by the COVID-19 pandemic and Black Lives Matter movement. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

The inclusion of these art rail systems, which were installed in each location, allows the committee to alternate between more permanent and transient installations. \u201cWe\u2019re keeping campus exciting and fresh and putting new ideas out on the walls,\u201d Mead said.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The hallway outside of classroom 118 provided an ideal opportunity to display a suite of woodblock relief prints by local artist Derrick Riley. \u201cKentucky Monster Mash Series 1-8,\u201d which depicts a variety of Kentucky-based monster stories, is a natural fit for an institution with an interest in the uncanny. At Transylvania, \u201cwe tend to really embrace things like Halloween, so we thought the monster stories and folklore done by a local artist would be a great thing to showcase,\u201d Mead explained.  <\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cThe Hearth Room is like the living room or den of the university, a space where you\u2019re really comforted, so we wanted a piece of artwork that conveyed the feeling of really being able to cozy up by the fire,\u201d Mead said. For this space, the committee chose a piece that would feel warm, soft and inviting to reflect the room\u2019s atmosphere, selecting a student-made, Pine Mountain-inspired quilt from one of art professor Zo\u00e9 Strucker\u2019s classes.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

In the Carpenter Center, the committee identified multiple spaces to place artwork, including hallways on the second and third floors of the building, as well as a kitchen and lounge area. A wide variety of pieces from the Transylvania collection, including Dean\u2019s Purchase Award recipients from the annual juried student art show, now grace those spaces. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

The second floor lounge features a series of photographic images of spaces around the Commonwealth. Commissioned by a former Transylvania president and taken by Transylvania students, the images give a sense of place and home to the space, livening up the common areas while also serving as inspiration to students, who may know \u2014 or even be \u2014 some of the featured artists.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Mead, who sees the Visual Arts Committee as a long-range project, hopes that students will also bring their voices to the nascent committee in the future. \u201cI think having a group of people that make really intentional choices about the artwork on campus allows a space to exist where we can tell stories about others and ourselves in a positive way and create spaces that give a sense of belonging,\u201d he said. \u201cBringing more artwork to campus is another way to infuse the humanities aspect of the liberal arts experience into the daily life of everyone here.\u201d<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
