Friday, April 25, 2008
7:00-9:00 p.m.

Video has evolved into a technically beautiful, flexible, accessible, and often clandestine medium that works like magic in the hands of artists and storytellers and provides a powerful tool for communication. Video continues to evolve into new mediums like CD-ROMs, DVDs, Web sites, streaming video, HD and 24P. This student-run festival features a night of short videos at the cutting edge of the art world as produced, directed and created by graduate students from among the Academy's ten departments who have shared their visions with the public since 2000.

The most anticipated exhibition of the year represents the culmination of the Academy students' studio work. The Degree Show also exemplifies why the Academy is one of the world's great incubators of ideas and is considered fertile ground for emerging trends in the world of art and design.

The evening will also feature the Academy Awards scholarship presentations in deSalle Auditorium beginning at 7:30 p.m. Listen to presentations from a select group of graduating Merit Scholarship recipients speaking about their studio work and research over the course of two years of study at the Academy. The 2008 Daimler Financial Services Emerging Artist Award, Merit Scholarships, the 2008 Toby Devan Lewis Fellowship and Robert Larson Award -- which each acknowledge the outstanding and innovative achievements of deserving graduate students at the Cranbrook Academy of Art -- will be presented during the evening. The Academy will also salute Tony Hepburn, currently the Artist-in-Residence and Head of the Ceramics Department at Cranbrook Academy of Art, who is retiring this year. Please join us.
