This is an exciting time of transformation and growth for theÌýDepartment of Art and DesignÌý²¹³ÙÌý. The rollout of a new curriculum promises to make our department stronger than ever. As we continue to advance our department we aim to increase our collaborative network of art and design professionals, business owners, and supporters. Join us for this unique event and see for yourself the wonderful work our students create!

With the rising costs of education, the Department of Art and Design at Ä¢¹½ÊÓƵ offers promising and talented creative individuals an excellent education for relatively affordable costs. However, many of our students still need financial support. The proceeds of this event will go towards anÌýOutstanding Student Award in the Department of Art and Design.

About Share Fare: an Experiment in Communal Eating
Ruth BorgenichtÌýis an alumna of theÌýMFA in Studio ArtsÌýprogram at Ä¢¹½ÊÓƵ and currently teaches Beginning Sculpture in the Department of Art and Design. Borgenicht creates unconventional eating vessels that must be manipulated by multiple diners to figure out the best way to engage with the food prepared by Halycon’s chef, Tess Tripodi. The dinner is a collaborative group activity based on sharing, mutuality, and community-mindedness. Group orchestration is required to use the hand-made ceramic vessels, which connect strangers and friends in a stimulating, communally interdependent eating event.
