\"\"<\/a>Wright State University visual arts students will receive guidance and experience from local professional artists thanks to a new collaboration with the Dayton Society of Artists (DSA).<\/p>\n

The society will benefit, too, by being able to use the Robert and Elaine Stein Galleries in the Creative Arts Center on Wright State\u2019s Dayton Campus.<\/p>\n

Julie Riley, president of the Dayton Society of Artists, will give a workshop on becoming a self-sustaining artist on Thursday, Sept. 26, from 6-8 p.m. in the gallery. She said she will tell Wright State art students \u201chow marketing and business knowledge is important.\u201d<\/p>\n

The event is open to the public; registration is $5 through daytondsa.org<\/a>. Wright State students can attend for free with a Wright1 Card.<\/p>\n

The collaboration is a win-win, said Tracy Longley-Cook, professor of art in Wright State\u2019s School of Fine and Performing Arts. The more than 100 students in the school\u2019s visual arts program, which is composed of photography, printmaking, drawing, painting and sculpture, will benefit from rubbing artistic elbows with those in the Dayton Society of Artists.<\/p>\n

\u201cThis is an opportunity for our students to learn about this organization and become student members,\u201d Longley-Cook said. \u201cAfter they graduate, they\u2019ll have a place to keep practicing and showing their art.\u201d<\/p>\n

While giving talks at the Dayton Society of Artists, Glen Cebulash, professor of art at Wright State, struck upon the idea of a collaboration with Wright State.<\/p>\n

\u201cThey could use the space that we have, and we can get more people who are interested in the arts to take greater advantage of our gallery,\u201d he said. \u201cA number of members of DSA are Wright State grads so there always has been a connection between the two institutions.\u201d<\/p>\n

During the summer Wright State hosted an event at the Stein Galleries that drew many local artists members, laying the groundwork for the collaboration.<\/p>\n

\u201cThis collaboration is something we\u2019ve been wanting to do for a long time,\u201d said Marsha Pippenger, immediate past president of the Dayton Society of Artists board who received a Master of Humanities with a concentration in art from 2007 Wright State.<\/p>\n

\u201cOur mutual hope is to get the art students more involved in local arts,\u201d said Pippenger, a former adjunct instructor in art history at Wright State. \u201cWe have a huge arts community here. DSA is a good place for them to start. This is an opportunity for them to show their work at exhibitions and shows.\u201d<\/p>\n

The benefit goes beyond art for art\u2019s sake. Pippenger said the collaboration will help students understand the business component.<\/p>\n

\u201cThere\u2019s a lot to selling art that\u2019s not addressed in an undergraduate art program,\u201d she said. \u201cHow to keep track of sales, how to market themselves, what\u2019s the best route for them to sell their work. We have a wealth of knowledge for them to tap into in that respect. They\u2019ll benefit from our struggles.\u201d<\/p>\n

She added, \u201cI don\u2019t know of any college that requires a fine arts student to take a basic accounting class or business 101. We would\u2019ve gone kicking and screaming to a class like that.\u201d<\/p>\n

\u201cArt making is individualistic in a lot of ways,\u201d Cebulash said. \u201cIt\u2019s not like theater or music, where you\u2019re working with others. This opportunity for our students to become part of the visual arts community is really important.\u201d<\/p>\n

He concluded, \u201cThis collaboration is a very natural one for Dayton.\u201d<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
