Chuck Holtzman: Drawings, Prints and Sculptures

AIB welcomes 2011 Fine Arts Department Artist-in-Residence Chuck Holtzman, who will be teaching a course in abstract principles of sculpture this spring.

Holtzman is known for his abstract sculptures and works on paper. He has recently held artist-in-residency positions at the Rhode Island School of Design Department of Interior Architecture, the School of the Museum of Fine Arts, and Wellesley College, among others. Holtzman studied at the School of the Museum of Fine Arts and has exhibited extensively in New England, including in the Boston Museum of Fine Arts and Whitney Museum of American Art. As part of his residency, Holtzman will have an exhibition at AIB. The show will display about forty works—including drawings, prints, and sculptures—in the AIB Main Gallery.

Reception: Thursday, February 10, 5pm - 7pm

MARK YOUR CALENDARS!

AIB’S Annual All Student Meeting takes place on Wednesday, February 9 from 11:30 a.m. to 12:30 p.m. in Room 215 at 700 Beacon Street.

In recent months, we’ve made some significant progress on the design and required governmental approvals for the planned new AIB facilities in Porter Square, on the campus of Lesley University. During this meeting, our architectural team and AIB leaders will show you the current state of the design of these facilities, including the design for the exterior; the interior spaces such as classrooms, labs, and studios; the galleries and library; and the plans for each academic area.
 
Please remind your classes of this meeting, and encourage them to participate. As usual, pizza lunch will be provided in Room 214.

All classes normally held between 11:30 a.m. and 12:30 p.m. on Wednesday, February 9 are cancelled to permit students to attend.  In addition, classes scheduled prior to the meeting should be dismissed by 11:15 a.m., and classes scheduled after the meeting should plan to start at 12:45 p.m. to allow students to attend.

Wednesday morning classes held in Room 215 and 214 must be concluded by 11:00 a.m. on February 9 to allow for set up prior to the meeting.
