Staff at University of Virginia’s Department of Art are planning to honor the life and work of D’Sean Perry, who was a studio art major in the College of Arts & Sciences and was on track to graduate this May before he was shot and killed alongside two other students on Nov. 13.
Every last Friday of the month, The Fralin Student Engagement Council invites the University and the local Charlottesville area to The Fralin Museum of Art for Final Fridays, an event that allows participants to engage directly with art by making their own crafts, performing live music, or view exhibits under the guidance of a Fralin Student Docent.
The fellowship aims to support students who have an exciting idea or question related to sound justice and help them put together a creative, public-facing project to communicate their findings. Project formats can include multiple modes, such as an essay, research, audio-visual media, or artwork. Dates: June 5 - August 3| Award: $7,500 | Due April 15th.
