Blair Dickinson prize
The 21st Blair Dickinson Memorial Prize will be awarded by the School of Art at this year's commencement ceremonies to an undergraduate or graduate woman who has pursued courses in the field of studio art at Yale, including graphic design, drawing, painting, photography, filmmaking, printmaking or sculpture.
The prize, which carries an award of $18,000, is open to both art majors and nonmajors. The prize seeks to encourage a woman who "demonstrates a developing consciousness, a personal vision, and a spirit of search, regardless of whether she has evolved a concrete realization of that vision; a woman who shows promise of fulfilling Blair Dickinson's (Yale '74) concept of an artist."
Applicants must submit a one-page statement of no more than 500 words describing their goals, their work and the ideas it represents; and not more than 10 slides of their work. The slides should be submitted in a slide sheet with the front and top of each slide indicated and should relate to the statement as the statement will be read aloud while they are shown. DVDs and Macintosh CD-ROMs may be submitted in addition to slides. Applications are due by April 29 and should be sent to the Blair Dickinson Memorial Prize Committee, Yale University School of Art, Rm. 122, 1156 Chapel St., New Haven, CT 06520-8339.
Highlights of the Peabody Museum of Natural History events in April include a specimen identification day and an "Earth Day" celebration, both in the Great Hall.
On Wednesday, April 20, 1-4 p.m., visitors may bring in their finds for museum experts to identify. All specimens are welcome. Living creatures must be safely secured in breathable containers and promptly returned to their native environment.
On Friday, April 22, 1-4 p.m., an Earth Day celebration will be held to raise awareness about threats to the environment and to encourage citizens to strive for healthy, sustainable surroundings. Visitors can learn some simple actions they can take to protect their planet. Everyone will be able to plant a tree seed, take it home to nurture and eventually plant in their backyard.
