UNC-Charlotte Print Media Studio

This morning we received a kind e-mail from John Ford, an associate professor of art at University of North Carolina Charlotte inquiring about the possibility of Dolan traveling to Charlotte to host a seminar or lecture with the art department students. Public speaking on the topic of arts business and transitioning from college life to adult life as an artist is an arena very dear to Dolan and such engagements are always of interest. Teaching and motivational speaking is in his blood, as his father has worked as a public school teacher and motivational speaker for over forty years.

John coordinates the UNC-Charlotte Print Media Studio and through the website we viewed some of John's sculptures and prints. Here are a couple of our favorites:

John Ford: "House not a Home: Church Warden (incomplete)" mixed media sculpture, 2009

John Ford: "Fragment 18" intaglio monoprint, 2009

Through the site, we also discovered the work of student Amber Watts and immediately purchased these cards from her Etsy shop:

Handmade Art Cards by Amber Watts

So, Charlotte students: keep your eyes and ears peeled about the possibility of Dolan traveling to UNC-Charlotte in 2010. Thanks to the Print Media Studio for reaching out!
