Alumnus Richard Mills (CCAD 1989) participated in the Ashes to Art Project, an art auction benefiting volunteer fire departments in Colorado affected by wildfires in 2012.

Mills was one of 70 artists who participated in the online auction. Participating artists were given charcoal from the wildfires to use and/or incorporate into their work.

The auction was held Oct. 7–14 and raised nearly $8,000.

Alumna Aminah Robinson (CCAD 1960) was inducted recently into the city of Columbus’ Hall of Fame by Mayor Michael B. Coleman.

The Columbus Arts Pop-Up Project (CAP-UP) announced the winners of their Juror's Choice Awards, and two CCAD alumni made the list.

Media Studies alumnus Corey Aumiller (CCAD 2006) took second place for his project Time Tunnel and Fine Arts alumnus Nikos Fyodor Rutkowski (CCAD 2002) tied for third with his installation Wolf's Ridge.

Fine Arts alumnus Kurt Fondriest (CCAD 1985) is part of Ancestory, a group exhibition at the Life Force Arts Center in Chicago, IL, running through Jan. 8, 2013.

The exhibition includes the work of 17 artists, all exploring the meaning of heritage, lineage, and identity.

The mission of the Life Force Arts Foundation is to advance the field of spiritual art through exhibits, events, and publications that explore the connection between art and spirituality.

Fine Arts alumna Joan Hall (CCAD 1974) has a solo exhibition, Marginal Waters, at Bruno David Gallery in St. Louis, MO, on view through Oct. 13.
