The University of New Haven's Lyme Academy College of Fine Arts in Old Lyme, Conn., is the recipient of a $60,000 grant from the Robert F. Schumann Foundation for the purpose of establishing The Schumann Visiting Artist program.
July 07, 2017
The first visiting artist will begin with Lyme's spring 2018 semester and will focus on the interdependence of art and the environment.
"The visiting artist program dovetails perfectly with Lyme's strategic priority of 'Art in Context'," said Todd Jokl, campus dean. "With 'Art in Context,' we ensure that students and the college consider the meaning of our arts practice as it relates to important issues like the environment."
The visiting artist will have a range of academic and community responsibilities, including teaching a for-credit Bachelor of Fine Arts undergraduate course; conducting workshops for B.F.A. students and community members; leading field explorations; and inspiring students to create a work of art that responds to environmental issues. The art will be installed on the college's campus for a specified period of time.
"The Lyme region has a rich history of artists working in and around our pristine surroundings," Jokl said.
We wanted to couple this history with contemporary applications and approaches that will foster interactions between art and the environment for years to come.
