Jurors
Catherine Reinhart is a fiber artist living and working in Ames, Iowa. She is the current Artist-in-Residence and Gallery manager at the Iowa State University Design on Main Gallery. Reinhart’s work has been exhibited locally and regionally. She was the recipient of a 2016 Art Project Grant for her collaborative project Common Threads and a 2015 Personal Development Grant from the Surface Design Association for work with the Spencer Museum of Art in Lawrence, Kansas. Her artistic voice is one of second chances. Reinhart creates fiber works, works on paper, and site-specific textile installations with reused materials from a state of irrepressible hope, a pessimist driven to create optimistic art.

Heather Whittlesey is a mixed media artist located in Des Moines, Iowa. She creates larger-than-life paper sculptures, builds slab constructed clay forms that defy gravity, and blows functional glass with painterly effects. The impetus behind her work is about civil rights and social behavior. More precisely, how race, sex and especially class influence the way we treat each other and how it informs boundaries. She is also a financial crimes investigator; this role allows her to delve into the world of consumer rights and protections and how this directly relates to our identities and how people perceive us through our consumerism. Whittlesey has built a fully functioning ceramics studio since graduating from Iowa State University in 2015 and has current plans to expand the studio into a fully fledged community space that houses ceramic, glass and sculpture studios as well as a community gallery. She won best-in-show in the Biorenewables Art Competition in 2011 (with Naomi Friend) and 2015. See www.heatherwhittlesey.com

She earned a Masters of Fine Art in Integrated Visual Arts at Iowa State University in 2013 and grew up in the community of Sioux Center, Iowa.

- College of Design Film Forum: North by Northwest
- Faculty Review
05:30 pm
The Department of Architecture presents the College of Design Film Forum on Alfred Hitchcock.
In a symposium setting, architecture faculty Mikesch Muecke and Andrew Gleeson, together with guest critics, will briefly discuss the evening’s film, followed by a screening. This will be followed by closing comments and time for questions. The goal is to broaden the experience of film for the design student by showing movies the faculty members love and that have changed their world view.
Tonight’s movie is North by Northwest, starring Cary Grant, Eva Marie Saint and James Mason. All movies are shown in the north end of the Lightfoot Forum.
06:00 pm
The College of Design’s Multicultural Services Office hosts a series of workshops on assembling high-quality portfolios for the enrollment-managed application process. All workshops for spring 2019 will be offered from 6 to 7 p.m. in room 130 Design unless otherwise noted. Students of all backgrounds are welcome to attend!
At tonight’s workshop, faculty will be available to review your portfolio and provide feedback for improvement prior to submission. This is the final workshop of the spring semester.
- RR3 Black Contemporary Exhibition
01:00 pm
Black Contemporary, founded and operated by Peter P. Goché (Artist/Architect), will host a series of installation and experimental drawing works by Colleen De Matta, Megan Dunham, Zachary Hansen, Kane Hassebrock, Jeffrey Klynsma, Tomi Laja, Jacob Murphy, Christopher Perez, Nicholas Raap, Jake Spangler, Andrew Sparby, Shance Taylor, Wade Vollink, Megan Zeien, Wentao Zhong, Venessa Miller, Paige Sivinski, Julianne Krusemark, Merwick D’Souza, Miranda Herpfer, Obhishek Mandal, Ryoka Matsuno, Nicholas Nagawiecki, Ruchi Patel, Samuel Rezac-Contreras, and Zheng Yang. It is our assertion that artist, architects and farmers can play a critical role in the production of the seen and unseen – spaces made and re-made. Our team of participants will present art, architecture and agriculture as an embodiment of the principles and methods of inquiry whereby the general public is allowed to insert itself as participant.
