Join the SCC Art Collectors Club now until June 30, 2011 and you'll be considered a CHARTER member! Of your $100 fee ($200 for couples; students are free), 75% will go toward art acquisitions and 25% will be used for arts programming.
The SCC Art Collectors Club is planning to host an art show to help develop the College's permanent collection. Iowa artists or artists with a connection to Iowa will be invited to submit digital images of their work to this juried art show. Best of Show prizes will be awarded. An unusual twist is that selected works will also constitute the charter donations to this permanent collection at the college, a special bonus for emerging artists. Art Show applications will be available soon. More information will be provided as it becomes available. Please direct questions to Becky Rump at 319.208.5065 or John Bybee at 319.759.9606.
