The show, which opened March 16 and will continue through May 4, was a statewide competition open to four-year art degree programs. This year's juried competition of student art from Iowa's campuses attracted artists from 18 colleges and universities. Ms. Guthrie will graduate next spring in the Bachelor of Fine Arts program. Her future plans include a graduate degree in graphic design or photography. In addition, all purchasers of Golden Bricks will have their name recorded on a plaque which will be displayed at the new wing.
All purchases are fully tax-deductible.
This building will house the Multimedia Center for the Middle and Upper School students. Ms. Wright emphasized that sellers will choose from a variety of prizes by selling as few as three Golden Bricks. Also, selling more bricks will automatically lead to more prizes for the seller. She stressed that prizes are not dependent on a drawing but on the seller's choice. According to Ms. Wright, in the past the School relied on the raffle as its main fund-raiser so they're especially delighted with this alternative campaign.
