Being a published artist is one aspect every person would love to say they have accomplished in life. With people being published day after day, exposure is important in the world of art. Windows can give the Lewis community the exact opportunity.
The Windows Fine Arts Magazine is an annual publication that includes creative works of art from students, faculty, staff, and alumnus of the Lewis University community. The publication is now also available on the Lewis website for visitors to see, including audio of music created by those winners in the musical composition area.
The magazine, which was created by Marylin Nissim Sabbat and is currently coordinated by Assistant Professor Therese Jones of the English Department, has vastly grown over the years. Jones, who has been working on Windows for the past three years, has found much enjoyment in working and creating such a creative piece of work for the Lewis community. "It's an excellent vehicle to display their talent to be published, mention on a resume, and also to bring up at a job interview" said Jones.
As for this Windows contest, submissions began the first week of October. Posters have been placed in the academic corridors of all classroom buildings. Please refer to these posters for the most comprehensive information.
The contest offers entries in three areas, which include writing, art and musical composition. The writing area will include poetry, short story (fiction and nonfiction), drama, and research reports. The arts area will include paintings, sketches, sculptures, computer graphic designs, and photography.
Multiple entries can be submitted for more than one category. Up to two entries per genre will be accepted, leaving a total of six entries overall. The first place winner will receive a small monetary award that will be determined by the panel of judges at a later date.
Course assignments, such as written works, artwork, and/or musical composition can be submitted for the contest as well. The maximum length for written works is five pages, excluding the sources page.
Submission rules can be found in the English, Art and Music Departmental offices and in the Library. The cut-off date for submission is Jan. 16, 2006. For more information please contact Assistant Professor Therese Jones in A129 or by calling (815) 834-5321.
