Art and financial aid? I know they go together.
I was in Madison on January 29th dropping off a painting at the office of the Arts Program Administrator for the City of Madison. I was talking art talk and generally catching up on the vivrant art scene in the states capitol, when I was asked; "would I like to go to an opening at Edgewood College?" Never one to miss an opportunity to see some art we headed over to the campus.
The show I saw was good. "30 Below: Staying Warm the Eco-Way" was a collection of student work utilizing recycled materials to create clothing or shelters that would work in our cold environment. Nice.

Here are some images from the show.
As I was taking in the work, what do I see. Right next to the gallery is the Edgewood financial aid office. An unexpected opportunity presented itself for a Presidential Visit. No one seemed to be in the office. It was late. I was ready to just write a little note and slip it under the door and go back to the art. As I was contemplating what to do, the door to the office opened and out stepped Katie Sprunger. Whew! She was working late, getting ready for a financial aid night in the community. This was an opportunity for as real visit. She showed me around the FA office. Even let me see Kari's office. I felt privileged. We talked a little financial aid and I was on my way.
Thank you Katie for the tour!
