WVU Art in the Libraries’ Faculty/Staff Exhibit Awards
As part of its mission, The Art in the Libraries Committee seeks to highlight the art and scholarship of WVU faculty and staff. With the Faculty/Staff Exhibits Award, Art in the Libraries committee invites current WVU faculty/staff to submit ideas for consideration for an exhibit to visually showcase their scholarship in new and experimental ways. These can present a visual evolution of their work, visualize their research and influences, or answer a research question. Faculty/staff proposals should be based on academic or creative research and lend themselves to visual interpretation with Library consultation.
Goals of these awards are to:
provide a multidisciplinary platform for deeper learning.
foster intellectual discourse and discussion.
demonstrate the breadth of WVU's creative and innovative activity.
