 VISUAL ARTS BFA CLASS OF 2010 TRAVELS TO BERLIN
Accompanied by the Dean of Visual Arts, Maggy Cuesta and faculty Fred Snitzer twenty-two BFA graduates embarked on the ten-day journey to attend the 6th Berlin Biennale for Contemporary Art. "The Berlin Biennale differs from a conventional art festival in that it is composed of a series of events rather than a single exhibition, and each time it changes locations and venues according to the exigencies of the exhibition" explained Cuesta. Each year the organizers select an array of unusual venues and exhibition sites. Over 60 artists attend the event working in a variety of media and techniques from etching to woodcut, animation to still photography, role-playing to team building. The group of NWSA artists will also have an opportunity to visit private collections and museums, go on exclusive tours, and experience the wonders of Berlin.
The NWSA college senior trip to Berlin was maded possible through the generous contributions of: Rosa de la Cruz, Dee Dee Moss, Aetna Foundation, Knight Foundation, Jordan Bock, and fundraising initiatives of the visual arts division.
