The W.A. Franke Honors College is offering a non-credit Student Development Project for undergraduate students to participate in integrating culture, community and ephemeral art based on ancestral Mexican technique and expression. Franke Honors students are eligible to apply for positions working on guided design and production of a thematic installation to be displayed during the "Day of the Dead 2023" event on campus. Students will have the opportunity to participate in instructional sessions, meet local artists and University of Arizona faculty members, and conduct specific tasks.
We are recruiting fifteen (15) students for this development experience. The date for the event is November 2nd from 4-7 pm at the University of Arizona Bookstores in the Student Union. The main organizers of this event are Franke Honors, The College of Architecture, Planning, and Landscape Architecture, HSI Initiatives, as well as additional community and international partners. The featured local artist will be Galeria Mitotera.
Students selected for this project are expected to work a total of thirty (30) hours from Oct 16 to Nov 4, 2023. Upon completion of required hours, participants will receive a $450 award.
