Illustration alumna Jenny Vogt (CCAD 1981) exhibited her series The Nature of Birds at the Village Hall Gallery of Arts in Bartlett, Aug. 1–30, located in Bartlett, IL.

Arts in Bartlett is a nonprofit organization whose main goal is to increase access to the arts in the community by hosting an array of events and exhibitions.

Illustration alumnus David Hartman (CCAD 1995) can now say he works for an Emmy-award-winning television show.

Hartman is a supervising director and supervising art director for Transformers: Prime, which took home an Emmy for Outstanding Special Class Animated Program at the 39th Annual Daytime Entertainment Emmy® Awards earlier this summer. He was also nominated in the category of Outstanding Directing in an Animated Program.

Three alumni are involved in one of the many public art projects being produced in celebration of the bicentennial of Columbus, Ohio.

Illustration alumna Marty Husted (CCAD 1979), Fine Arts alumna Heather Nibert (CCAD 2012), and Advertising & Graphic Design alumnus Mark Thomas (CCAD 1990) are each participating in the project 10x10x10: 10 Murals, 10 Galleries, 10 Openings.

Being a goldsmith may not be the most obvious career choice for an Illustration major, but alumna Brianne Schulze (CCAD 2012) decided to follow that path and now holds a position as an apprentice at Diamond Cellar in Columbus, OH.

At the Diamond Cellar, Schulze is learning from the ground up, starting with the basics and focusing on precision and technique.

Illustration and Advertising & Graphic Design alumnus Jeff Stahler (CCAD 1977) was recently interviewed in The Illustrator's Market.

"Creativity never seems to stop," Stahler said in the blog post. "I love getting up each morning and traveling up the stairs to my third-floor studio, where I plant myself. I read, doodle, sketch, and ink ideas for hours."

Illustration alumna Laurie Brown (CCAD 1994) is showing work in a group exhibition at the Mansion at Strathmore in Bethseda, MD.

Inform/Reform explores work that is made from repurposed and sustainable items. Brown, who creates three-dimensional works from paper, has four pieces in the show.

What do Ballet Met, a library mural, and a children’s book have in common? Illustration alumna Sarah DeAngulo Hout (CCAD 2004).

Earlier this year, Hout was asked to paint a mural for the children's section of the downtown branch of the Columbus Metropolitan Library. The mural, which is in the activity room, features a landscape as it goes through the four seasons.

Illustration alumnus Carl Bork (CCAD 2003) will exhibit his paintings at the Heart of the Rockies Regional Medical Center in Salida, CO through September.

"At CCAD I learned to follow my heart and paint what moves me most," Bork said on his website.

The paintings are for sale, and a portion of proceeds will go to the HRRMC Foundation.
