2020 Rickert-Ziebold nominees recognized for their work
CARBONDALE, Ill. – Nine senior finalists in Southern Illinois University Carbondale’s School of Art and Design will share the annual Rickert-Ziebold Trust Award.
The annual exhibition was set for this week with the winning entries announced April 20. The COVID-19 pandemic that resulted in classes moving to an online format in mid-March prompted the exhibition’s cancellation for this year. Rob Lopez, director of the art and design program and the Rickert-Ziebold committee decided to award each of the finalists $500 to advance their creative practice and continue the legacy of the award.
“It is unfortunate to miss the opportunity to see a great show that they would have put up,” said Sun Kim, an associate professor in the School of Art and Design and event organizer. “And I hope we will be able to get back to normal for the next year cycle.”
The nominees for this year’s competition, listed by hometown and program, were:
ILLINOIS
- Carmi: Hailey Winkleman, communication design.
- Highland: Madelynn Shively, drawing.
- Joliet: Jake Beltran, painting.
- Marion: Matthew Szidik, general studio.
COLORADO
- Denver: Hadley Bowles, metals and glass.
KENTUCKY
- Louisville: Emma Vogelsberg, industrial and communication design.
- Owensboro: Laura Carver, drawing.
TENNESSEE
- Nolensville: Cole Dugan, communication design.
CANADA
Ontario
- Catherines: Cain Hassim, industrial design.
This award is possible through the generosity of the family of the late Joseph Rickert. A prominent lawyer and state senator from Waterloo, Illinois, Rickert enjoyed a personal interest in the arts. This award, established in 1974 in memory of the Rickert family, serves to support and encourage the tradition of excellence.
