The Artist’s Society hosted its first art walk of the semester on March 5. It was held in front of the dance studio, located near the Fine Arts Building.

It was an ideal location, with plenty of space which allowed for a setup of various sized canvases, some small, some more than four feet tall.

The art work ranged in mediums. There was acrylic and oil paintings, as well as pastel and pencil art work.

There was also a sculpture made of wire on display, which complimented and contrasted well with all of the other works on display.

Nursing major Valerie Campos said, “They’re all cool, they’re all different. It makes me happy to see this going on.”

The event began at noon and it was free of charge. Aside from the art displayed, there were also members of the Artist’s Society fundraising for the club by doing free style henna tattoos on students.

At one point, there was even a line of students waiting to receive their henna tattoos.

The club was also fundraising by selling tie-dye shirts and handmade friendship bracelets.

Throughout the day there was a steady stream of students checking out the art work and making donations to the club.

“It’s a chance to express yourself and show your art. It’s good to show your art and appreciate it yourself too,” said Purchasing management major Damien Eaton.

President of the Artist’s Society, Erica Figueroa said that they are aiming to have three art walks per semester.

“(Students) have to come to us and If we have enough people that have work we will run an art walk on campus,” Figueroa said.

Fine arts major and Artist’s Society member Kimberly Batson said that if students are interested in having their art displayed at an upcoming campus art walk, all they need to do is contact the club.

She also said that even if students have art that is not recent they can still submit their work.
