N T DISTINCTIONS BOTH ART AND ARTIST ARE HIGHLIGHTED IN UNIQUE
EXHIBITION
Thanks to DMSE Staffer,
Mindy Baughman and the Institute's "Artists Behind Desk" program,
now a familiar source of musical and other artistic performances
by MIT Staff members, visual artists in the community are enjoying
an opportunity to shine on campus in an exhibition at the Rotch
Library of Architecture and Planning from now until Friday, April
13, 2001 entitled "Artists by Night, Administrators by Day: MIT
staff artists show their work." Baughman, administrative assistant
in the Department of Materials Science and Engineering and curator
of the show, underscores the artists' connection to MIT by noting,
"the emphasis of the exhibit is on the person behind the art as
well as the art alone." Don't miss the opportunity to support
the artists among our staff! Hats off to Mindy and 'Artists Behind
the Desk' for their efforts to organize and promote visual artists
in the MIT Staff community!
EXHIBIT TITLE: "Artists
by Night, Administrators by Day: MIT staff artists show their
work"
LOCATION: Rotch Library of Architecture and Planning (7-238)
DATES: Now through April 13th, 2001
SCHEDULE: 8:30 AM to 6:00 PM Monday through Friday Weekend and
extended hours vary; call the library at (617) 258-5590
ABOUT "ARTISTS BEHIND THE DESK" Artists Behind the Desk is a unique
program spotlighting the artistic talent of support and administrative
staff at MIT through year-round events on campus at locations
and times convenient for employee participation. Offerings throughout
2000 included concerts ranging from classical to rock to jazz
music. ABD is sponsored by the MIT Working Group on Support Staff
Issues whose mission is to improve the working environment for
support staff employees.
