Evonne Nicholson
Evonne Nicholson, one of CED’s artists, is in extended therapy at Golden Living at 1379 Van Voorhis Road, Morgantown, WV 26505, phone 599-9480. She would love to have visitors or receive letters and cards.
Season of Change:
A hardback bound, full color or black and white book highlighting twelve of our artists is now available. To order, call Liz Ellis at 888-326-5327 ext 3. Cost will depend on quantity and if you want full color. For example, one in full color is $34 plus shipping (about $11).
"Taking Part"
Teams of WVU student multimedia reporters paired with artists with disabilities from the CED Fine Arts program to create alternate forms of story- telling. Students adapted their multimedia tools to accommodate the unique expressions of the artists. Five artists from the CED Fine Arts Program were highlighted in a video series. Four more joined their ranks during the Spring 2007 semester. WVU faculty wished to map the emergent practices, adaptations, and new media/technology innovations that would occur, as well as highlight the talents of the artists. This laboratory environment served as a catalyst for artists interested in the fine arts as a profession, or as a hobby.
