The Voice: Spring 2002
New online Art Alumni Club is up and running
If you’re an alumni artist, you’ll want to look at the new Art
Alumni Club website. Professor Susan Van Geest with the help of art alum
Heidi Hilbelink, who currently works as the website Blackboard administrator at Dordt, has
recently put up a site where former art students can post images of
their work, get free art critique from peers, and share art opportunities, events,
and ideas. Van Geest sent out an e-mail welcome and description of the
club to art alums one Friday and by the following Monday had received
forty-five responses. As an artist you can send a digital photo of work
you wish to have posted and can set up a short personal profile
that tells what you’ve done and what you are doing in art.
Van Geest believes that having a support group that understands the challenges of
making art, thinking about art, and living artistic lives can be of great
significance for Christian artists and hopes others find this opportunity helpful not only
for showing art, but also for sharing fellowship with artists they knew in
college or will get to know through the website.
