Behind the Canvas is back and ready to take on a new year. Last year the club was formed by a group of students in one of my Art and Activism classes with the purpose of improving community at the Academy.
The club held two bake sales during the spring semester, and donated all of the proceeds to the student body by purchasing items suggested by the students. The first donation was five first aid kits, distributed to some of the studio classrooms and the front desk receptionist.
At the second bake sale, students asked for ice cream. So the club decided, why not? Don't we all need a little ice cream now and then?
On Monday, September 21st, the Behind the Canvas club will be handing out free icecream sandwiches to students in the student lounge on 3rd floor. We plan to purchase about 400 icecream sandwiches, or at least as many as we can fit into the coolers we've been able to borrow.
We hope many students will come and enjoy this event, and perhaps consider joining the club.
