It's an exciting time for AVT! The department is growing in both size and scope and everyone is eagerly anticipating the opening of the new art building in fall 2009. The construction of the new art building and all the inherent challenges of raising support for infrastructure, technology, tools and equipment, scholarship, and endowment requires a supreme effort. I hope you will join us at any comfortable level of support. Help us make this milestone event a grand success with a strong trajectory for future professional and creative accomplishment. You may make a gift to the Department of Art and Visual Technology from the Supporting Mason web site.
