- STUDENT SHOWCASE -
FOR THOSE OF YOU NEW STUDENTS, EVERY SPRING SEMESTER, THE INTERIOR DESIGN DEPARTMENT HOLDS AN ANNUAL STUDENT SHOWCASE. STUDENTS ARE ABLE TO SUBMIT THEIR DESIGN WORK FOR DISPLAY IN A GALLERY SPACE. WE USUALLY DISPLAY OUR PROJECTS ON THE SECOND FLOOR LOUNGE SPACE IN THE BMU. HOWEVER, LAST YEAR ONE OF OUR PROJECTS GOT DAMAGED. WE SPEND A LOT OF TIME AND ENERGY ON OUR PROJECTS AND I THINK WE NEED TO FIND A BETTER LOCATION!

WE ARE LOOKING FOR A LOCATION RIGHT NOW. A GALLERY SPACE OF SOME SORT (WHICH IS ALMOST IMPOSSIBLE). ALL GALLERY SPACES WE'VE CONTACTED SO FAR ARE BOOKED UP FOR A YEAR (OR MORE) IN ADVANCE. SOOOOO... IF ANYONE HAS ANY HOOK UPS WITH GALLERY SPACE, PLEASE PLEASE LET ME KNOW!!!

THE OTHER OPTION WE ARE THINKING ABOUT IF NO GALLERY SPACE IS FOUND, IS DOING A STUDENT SHOWCASE NIGHT. WE WOULD INVITE MEMBERS OF THE DESIGN COMMUNITY AROUND TOWN TO ATTEND. USUALLY DESIGNS ARE BROKEN UP INTO CATEGORIES, AND AWARDS ARE GIVEN. WE WOULD HAVE REFRESHMENTS, PRESENT AWARDS, AND SET UP ALL THE STUDENT WORKS.

FINALLY..........
- WORKSHOPS -
I WOULD LIKE TO HOST A DRAFTING WORKSHOP (POSSIBLY WITH TAMI FAULKNER) SINCE THE DRAFTING CLASS WAS CANCELLED THIS SEMESTER. IF ANYONE IS INTERESTED, PLEASE LET ME KNOW DAYS AND TIMES (EITHER E-MAIL OR THROUGH THE BLOG) AND I WILL SET UP A DAY/TIME THAT WORKS.
I HAVE A TON OF HANDOUTS FOR STUDENTS ON DRAFTING AS WELL AS SHOWING YOU THE TOOLS AND SOME TRICKS TO MAKE DRAFTING EASIER! IT WILL BE A GREAT LEARNING EXPERIENCE!!

- DUES -
DUES TO JOIN ASID ARE $10 AND ARE DUE AT THE NEXT MEETING IN MARCH WHICH IS TENATIVELY SET FOR:

WEDNESDAY, MARCH 4TH AT 6:30 IN PAC 261

IF YOU ARE UNABLE TO ATTEND BUT WANT TO JOIN ASID, SEND YOUR MONEY AND REGISTRATION SLIP (I WILL POST IT ON THE BLOG TO PRINT) WITH A FRIEND, OR GET IN CONTACT WITH ME AND I WILL BE GLAD TO MEET WITH YOU!
