Artist Amy Bartell returns to WSU

Students at Washington State University will not only witness a professional artist at work, they will help shape what the art looks like and the message it conveys.

New York artist Amy E. Bartell will work 10 a.m.-3 p.m. Monday-Thursday, Feb. 23-26, in the CUB first-floor gallery as part of the “It Starts Now” campaign, which promotes WSU’s commitment to a culture of acceptance and understanding for individuals in the campus community.

Organized by WSU’s Gender Identity/Expression and Sexual Orientation Resource Center (GIESORC), Bartell’s visit will see students working with her to create collage-style poster. These will be unveiled during a free reception 4-6 p.m. Friday, Feb. 27, in the Holland-Terrell Library atrium, where they will remain on display for several weeks.

To help manage Bartell’s time efficiently, students are asked to pre-register by contacting Heidi Stanton Schnebly, GIESORC director, at 509-335-8841 or hstanton@wsu.edu. Drop-ins are welcome. Bartell was invited to WSU in 2008 and created an art piece that is displayed at the University Recreation Center. She returned in 2011 to lead the creation of a community mural, which is in the CUB Quiet Lounge. The ‘It Starts Now’ Campaign was founded in 2010 after a national epidemic of suicides related to bullying and violence among young people based on their real or perceived sexual orientation.
