Fall 2019 Connections — College of Fine Arts

CONNECTIONS College of Fine Arts Fall 2019 Edition

Center for the Arts Opening Spring 2020

CANDIDLY SPEAKING — FROM THE DEAN’S DESK Welcome to Fall 2019 in the College of Fine Arts (COFA) at the University of Montevallo. Last semester was one of incredible accomplishments, new milestones and transitions for the college that I am happy to share with you in this edition.

Construction on the 36,750-square-foot Center for the Arts is approaching completion. In spring 2020, we plan to begin classes in the new facility and we will celebrate another new milestone with a ribbon cutting ceremony to formally open the facility to the public.

So many people and other constituents have invested in the Center in important ways. We are especially grateful for their support and for all those stakeholders who have named the spaces in the Center listed below.

As always, I thank you for your continued support of the College of Fine Arts.

Steve Peters, Ph.D. Dean of the College of Fine Arts

Center for the Arts

SCHEDULED TO OPEN SPRING 2020

Construction of the University of Montevallo College of Fine Arts’ new 36,750-square-foot Center for the Arts building is entering the final stages of construction, and is set to open to students in the spring 2020 semester.

When completed, the Center for the Arts, which is at the corner of North Boundary and Oak Street, will be unique among collegiate facilities in the state of Alabama. It will bring together many academic disciplines previously spread out across multiple buildings on the UM campus, and will serve as a 21st century teaching and learning collaboratory and a prime resource for the Montevallo community and Shelby County.

The center will serve more than 600 majors in the College of Fine Arts departments of art, communication, music and theatre, and is expected to increase overall enrollment in the College of Fine Arts by 26 percent and add a dance program to the college.

When the Center welcomes students in the spring, it will feature two performance venues, an art gallery, a large social space perfect for dinners, luncheons and rental events, a concessions area, a digital fabrication lab, design labs with animation

software, multiple classrooms, theatre faculty and college offices, vocal performance rehearsal rooms, a dance studio, state-of-the-art production shops, a public pocket park, a sculpture garden, an outdoor commons area and adjacent ground-level parking.

But the facility’s impact will stretch far beyond the College of Fine Arts, as it was designed to provide services to the university and community as a whole.

“The Center will impact other colleges at the university, the city of Montevallo and the county through events that bring tourists, high school competitions, university recruiting events and regional meetings that serve the interests of our county and beyond,” said Dr. Steven Peters, dean of the College of Fine Arts, noting the facility will have a positive economic and cultural impact on the entire community.

Over the next few months, crews are working to finalize construction of the Center, and the tentative substantial completion date is set for late December. It will open in the spring 2020 semester, with a phased move-in for faculty and staff.

Bonita Springs ART INSTALLATIONS

Jason Tanner Young, assistant professor of art, and students from his public sculpture class were invited by the Bonita Springs Art in Public Spaces Board of Bonita Springs, Florida, to install their work in the city’s River Park. Students were able to experience all the primary aspects of the process of producing work for public spaces. Their work will be on-site for a year.

UM LAUNCHES FIRST CERTIFICATE PROGRAM

I

ncreasingly over the past five years, current COFA students and prospective high school and community college students have expressed the need for training in filmmaking. COFA students majoring in mass communication, music, theatre and art understand that well-paying jobs and a host of new businesses and production careers demand filmmaking experience. Since we have lacked such a curriculum to date, prospective students often turned to other universities. Problem solved.

In May, the University of Montevallo and the state’s AIDT Office signed a memorandum of agreement to create the University’s first certificate, a certificate in digital filmmaking. AIDT, which endorses the certificate, is Alabama’s career readiness and training office. The new certificate will be awarded upon graduation to UM students who have successfully completed requirements for the minor in digital filmmaking, starting Fall 2019.

DEPARTMENT Spotlight AWARDS & HONORS Dr. Lori Ardovino, professor of music, was chosen as the 2019 Alabama Music Teachers Association Commissioned Composer.

Dr. Bruce Finklea’s commercial for Vallo Vision News won first place in the Video Commercial category in the 2018 National Broadcasting Society — Alpha Epsilon Rho Professional and Alumni Production Competition.

CONCERT CHOIR

On the Road The UM Concert Choir performed at the historic Carnegie Hall in New York on Feb. 16 for the 2019 Gotham SINGS! Choral Festival and Ensemble Showcase. Dr. Melinda Doyle, associate professor of music, observed that being selected to perform as a featured ensemble at such a beloved and historic musical venue is truly a once in a lifetime opportunity for our students. The concert opened with the Philadelphia Boys Choir & Chorale followed by the UM Concert Choir featuring faculty soloist Dr. Roderick George, tenor. The concert, then, culminated with a commemoration of the centennial of the WWI armistice and Celebration of Peace, featuring the Gotham SINGS! Festival Chorus and Orchestra in a performance of Ralph Vaughan Williams “Dona Nobis Pacem.” “Performing on the Carnegie Hall stage is an amazing opportunity for our students and it will likely be one of those enriching experiences that they will cherish for years to come,” said George. In addition to the Carnegie Hall performance, the choir made appearances at the Cathedral of Saint John the Divine in New York City and Basilica of the National Shrine of the Immaculate Conception in Washington, D.C.

INNOVATION IN TEACHING Episodes of Vallo Vision News and The Buzz on Facebook and YouTube have received almost 6,700 views. Both shows featured numerous stories written, shot and edited by Montevallo multimedia journalism students; interviews about UM’s Life Raft Debate, the midterm elections and COMS Day; and highlights for both Mass Communication and Communication Studies events throughout the semester. The work of our broadcast production and multimedia journalism majors reaches far beyond the walls of our studio. The 6,700 views do not include our streaming sports and music show viewership, so even more people are being reached. Every day, broadcast production and multimedia journalism majors display their skills and creativity in professional-quality productions. The proof can be found on Facebook and YouTube while they’re students, and in their success in the mass media field after graduation.
