Strange Coupling 2011

Founded in 2002, Strange Coupling is an annual project that brings together current UW students and local artists to collaborate on artworks that are displayed at an exhibit in the spring. An auction to raise funds for this year’s project will take place on Thursday, 13 January, from 6:30-8:30pm at the 3D4M/CMA North Gallery. There is a suggested donation of $5.00 for admission. Donations of artwork for the auction can be made on Wednesday, 12 January, from 12-4pm in room 125 of the Art Building or on Thursday, 13 January, from 12-4pm in the North Gallery of the 3D4M/CMA Building (link above).

To be a student participant in Strange Coupling, you must donate an artwork for the auction or volunteer at the auction in addition to completing an application. More information about this and links for the application are available on the Strange Coupling blog. This year’s coupling process will be juried by Scott Lawrimore of the Lawrimore Project and Michael Van Horn, School of Art staff and curator of the Joseph and Elaine Monsen Photography Collection. Participating local artists are Sharon Arnold, Matt Browning (BFA 2007), Eli Hansen, Monica Mata Gilliam, Nicholas Nyland (BFA 1999), Susan Parr, and Ben Waterman (MFA 2009).
