Student Open House

Throughout the year, the Admissions Office puts on Open Houses...events where prospective students can see Hallmark and all that it has to offer. The studios are all set up, the labs are filled with images we've taken, there is a special gallery featuring some body of work (whether an instructor's or our work), and there is yummy food. Students volunteer to work at it, showing people around and telling them about our experiences here as students. I've volunteered at the last few, and am helping out with the final Admissions-run Open House of the year.

One week from this Sunday, on Sunday, April 10th, we students get to lead our OWN Open House, geared toward the friends and families of ours who have been our biggest supporters. We play the roles that our instructors have played. We have been raising the funds to put the event on ourselves. Students designed the invitations. The bays will all be set up with our work. Prints of ours will be hung around the school. The food will be made/prepared by students. It will be an exciting day of allowing people to see where we've spent long hours and the last 10 months of our lives.

This is a portion of what the Hallmark website says about the day.....

I know most of my friends and family can't come, but I thought I'd share it with you anyway. I will be working in the Commercial Studio as one of the co-chairs. We're excited about the work that will be shown.
