In the Spring of 2008, five students from a variety of disciplines and backgrounds were accepted as participants for the 2008-2009 year of CAPP, the Contemporary Art Purchasing Program. Throughout the year the student committee members worked tirelessly towards the goal of purchasing meaningful and challenging contemporary artwork to present to the University community. The journey included a fall semester art theory course, countless hours in meetings to discuss independent research, leading up to exhilarating and exhausting trips to visit New York City and Washington D.C galleries. The committee worked directly with the galleries to both plan and schedule the trips and to acquire valuable information about the artists that piqued their interests. Final decisions were made after a formal presentation to an advisory board consisting of University community members and art professionals. It is safe to say that each artwork that the committee purchased was thoroughly researched and discussed.
The Stamp Gallery along with the student committee members, Sana Javed ’09, Ophra Paul ’08, Alison Reilly ’09, Alisyn Stuebner MA ’09, and Megan Wickless ’10 present here the results of CAPP 2008-2009.
