CSA Year 20 is alive!

The Event

CSA Year 20, a celebratory event is being planned at the moment to "softly" commemorate 20 academic years of CSA (if you don't know what CSA is then perhaps you should not be reading this). This will be a day-long event of activities culminating in the opening of the end of year exhibition for 2008/9 AY. The activity is meant to involve all current & former students (BE, AT, AS, Diploma, BSc, BA, MArch) and staff of the school. The proposed date is Thursday, May 7th 2009.

Among the first thoughts for the day are a series of screenings (moving and still images), a special exhibition, a 20 hour charette/design competition, general meet, greet and catch-up (we are hoping alumnae will take the day off or choose that week to visit Jamaica). A "committee" is in the process of being formed and will be dutifully headed by R. Bailey (Kermit) and R. Picart (Pik).
We need your help in the following ways:

• Suggest a keynote speaker to open the exhibition (or the day)
  
• suggestions how we could spend the day
  
• links/connections to classmates
  
• updates on your activities
  
• updates on where you are (we intend to exhibit a map of the world)
  
• videos of CSA
  
• Testimonies/stories/written pieces of your CSA experience (Remember when...)
  
• volunteer to help (setting up, monetary (we're serious), playing host, graphics etc.)
  
• Following this site
  

and sending high quality images of:

• your current work (privately or heavily involved in)
  
• work while at school (scan those sketches and drawings)
  
• study tours, field trips, out-of-studio experiences
  
• lecturers while at CSA
  
• The first home of CSA (3rd floor building dept.)
  
• of course studio images (any crits?)
  

You can add some suggestions...

This Site
This site will be CSA Year 20 central for the next six weeks. All news of planning and details of the event will originate here. We will set up a Facebook event page but it will all start/be found here. We will put up some of the best images and reminisces as well as spark some discussions (such as what if L. Mark Taylor...?) here.

We hope that you will share with us and try to be with us for the day (or half day) on that Thursday.
