Kellogg Community College is making its ArtPrize debut in this year’s competition with a collaborative sculptural work created as part of art instructor Vicki VanAmeyden’s ART 295: Museum Field Study course held this summer.
You can read about the group’s installation, titled “Didactic Revolvers,” on this blog at daily.kellogg.edu/2013/09/10/kcc-makes-artprize-debut-with-didactic-revolvers or visit their ArtPrize page at www.artprize.org/kcc-artcorps/2013/didactic-revolvers.
The ArtPrize competition officially opens at noon today, and with the winners decided by public vote it’s important for you to vote for your favorites if you want to seem them advance in the competition.
So how do you vote for an ArtPrize entry? Here are the steps:
