| Currie Scholars Program 2006 - Cole Hughes "With the grant I was able to work with my color photography negatives, enlarging them to larger than life size. Also, the money was used to build an environment to exhibit the work. This was my first opportunity to work in an installation form. The Grant was amazing in regards to allowing me to venture into levels of professional art that I didn’t have the monetary means for." 2006 - Peter Johnston applied for a grant to purchase lighting and lenses necessary to produce a quality film that "challenges the ideas of truth or reality as represented by visual images, and the way our perception of a scene’s 'reality' is governed by a subconscious reaction to aesthetic differences." This film was premiered on Honor's Day 2007. |
