APSU Art + Design Graphic Design Majors win ADDYs
On February 26, 2019, we had several APSU Graphic Design Majors win Silver ADDY Awards at this year’s Nashville Student ADDY Ceremony. Ebony Walton, a senior, won a Silver ADDY for her “Sweet Ride” branding book, and a team of three students—Al Best, Clarissa Gunn, and Maddie Lee—won a Silver ADDY for their 30-second television ad for Clarksville’s new entertainment venue, the City Forum.
Both projects were designed under the guidance and tutelage of Associate Professor, Rachel Bush. Associate Professor, Patrick Gosnell, and Assistant Professor, David Walker, were present (alongside our students) at the award ceremony. It was an exciting night where APSU increased its regional profile amongst other middle Tennessee colleges and universities. The ADDYs are one of the biggest yearly advertising competitions, and the Department of Art + Design is very proud of our student winners, as well as all of the other great student projects that were entered this year! Both projects will now advance to the Regional level of competition.

Art + Design Announces Exhibitions and Speakers for 2018-2019
The Department of Art + Design is excited to announce our 2018-2019 line up of exhibitions and speakers. This year we welcome such luminaries as Amy Sherald, Wendy Red Star, Sharon Louden, and Leonardo Drew.
The New Gallery is located in the Art + Design building and most of our lectures take place in AD 120, the lecture hall in Art + Design. The notable exception will be Amy Sherald who will be speaking in the UC Ballroom.
We are grateful to CECA (Center for Excellence for the Creative Arts) for their support. Without them, we would not be able to bring these amazing artists and designers to campus.
