Exhibition and Fellowship Call

Ron Cubbison Alumni Exhibition and Travel Awards


The Department of Art + Design, Art History, Art Education of Towson University seeks undergraduate and graduate alumni of former professor Ron Cubbison for exhibition of their work and the awarding of travel fellowships. Professor Cubbison, who died in 2008, taught at Towson University for thirty years, from 1966 to 1996. He was a firm believer in the individual vision of his students and in the power and impact of travel abroad as an inspiration for creativity. With this belief in mind, he created a one-time fellowship award for his former students to be used for travel abroad. All students who studied with Professor Cubbison and who are still actively making art should apply to take part in a juried exhibition to take place in the Center for the Arts, September 13, 2012—October 7, 2012. Five of his former students whose works are juried into this exhibition will then be chosen by a panel of judges to receive substantive travel abroad fellowships. Upon return home from their travels, these travel award winners will participate in a second group exhibition of their new works. The second exhibition of work by the fellowship winners will take place in 2014.

To be considered for the Ron Cubbison Alumni Exhibition please send a CD with jpgs of 8-10 works created since 2006. Please indicate the works that are available for exhibition. DVD entries of new media are also acceptable. Please include on the CD a copy of your resume, an artist statement, list of works (with title, medium, size, and date), and and if you want to be considered for the travel scholarship, a copy of your transcripts that indicates the courses that you took with Professor Cubbison (highlight in yellow the specific courses you took with Professor Cubbison). http://www.towson.edu/registrar/Records/Transcript_Request.asp
