REMINDER: the annual Keena Shaw Northrop Dean’s Art Award
REMINDER: the annual Keena Shaw Northrop Dean’s Art Award for fibers or textile-based artworks is still open for submission! This art prize was established in 2013 as a partnership between the College of Design and the Robert D. Clark Honors College. This award was made possible courtesy of a gift from UO alumnus Jim Northrop ‘81 in honor of his mother, Keena Shaw Northrop, a ’50 Fine & Applied Arts major. Jim attended the honors college and his mother, during her years on campus, spent time in Chapman Hall, home of the CHC, storing some of her projects in the drawers that used to be housed on the 3rd floor prior to the Chapman Hall renovation. The successful awardee will have their selected artwork(s) displayed in Chapman Hall June 2022-May 2023, and will receive a $1000 prize credited to their student account. All current UO students, including those graduating this year, are welcome to submit. This year’s deadline for submissions is Friday May 6th, 2022 for an installation date by the first week of June. Please see the flier for more information. Questions and submissions can be sent to Sonja Dahl, sdahl@uoregon.edu.
