Welcome To NDNU’s
Art Therapy Department
Summer Art Show

Dear Art Therapy Students, Faculty and Friends,

We would like to welcome you to NDNU’s Art Therapy department summer art show! This year, your art show coordinator is Jim Shurter, assisted by Erica Orth.

The graduate art therapy show is held each summer on campus in the Wiegand Gallery. This event offers students, faculty and alumni the opportunity to share their artwork and their many talents with the public. Each year the show features an alumni or past faculty member. This year’s show will feature faculty member and department chair Richard Carolan, artist and established member of the art therapy community.

In light of the upcoming work involved, we would greatly welcome volunteers to help with preparing for the show. We would particularly love help with the following:
1. music, food, and decorations for the opening
2. preparing mailing lists to area schools, galleries, and art organizations
3. hanging and removing artwork from the gallery.

A separate e-mail will be sent requesting volunteers with specific things to sign up for.

Thank you so much for taking part in this year’s summer show!
