Rickert-Ziebold art competition features 20 finalists
CARBONDALE, Ill. - Twenty collegiate artists will vie for the $20,000 purse in the 2004 Rickert-Ziebold Trust Award competition, open only to selected seniors in the Southern Illinois University Carbondale School of Art and Design.
Perhaps the most profitable contest of its kind, its purse can go to a single winner or be split among several winning artists. Art school faculty annually select the winners, with the announcement set for 3:30 p.m. Monday, March 29, in the Surplus Gallery at the Glove Factory, a collection of studios and galleries kept by the University (408 S. Washington St.), at the corner of Washington and College streets.
The public may see the works at a free open house from 1 to 3 p.m., Sunday, March 28. The finalists include designers, glass blowers, sculptors and studio artists.
The competition memorializes the Joseph Rickert family of Waterloo. Friends of several early SIUC presidents, the family established the award to encourage excellence in the arts.
On display will be large screen prints, sculpture, blown glass, ceramics, paintings, graphic arts, multimedia piece, prototypes of new products designed by students and more.
Creators represent the finest artists in their graduating class.
Promoting excellence in undergraduate academics is one of the goals of Southern@150, the blueprint for the development of the University by the time it reaches its 150th anniversary in 2019.
