Annual Student CAPP Award
Every year the Committee on Art in Public Places honors a senior major in the Program in Studio Art for outstanding artistic achievement. The chosen student receives a modest cash prize, and a work from his or her oeuvre is selected to be displayed somewhere on campus for a period of two years.
For 2011 the Committee has chosen to honor Ryan Scura ’11. Ryan’s piece Self Portrait will be installed in a location to be determined during the summer of 2011.

Studio Art Learning Goals
We want our students to possess a high degree of visual literacy and intellectual curiosity about art and culture.
Our teaching practice gives students the tools to understand art from the experience of making it. These tools are informed from the study of art history and contemporary practice.
Studio students are required to relate their knowledge of art to larger intellectual and cultural discourse within the liberal arts. Our teaching nourishes ideational cross-pollination between Studio Art and other departments.
Works by Studio Artists
The Studio Art program is housed in the Christian A. Johnson Memorial Building. A classic of 1960's architecture, the Johnson Building boasts large art studios overlooking the idyllic town of Middlebury. Two-story windows flood the studios with natural light and provide extraordinary views of the Green Mountains. Our building's centerpiece is the open, three-story atrium space used for critiques, demonstrations, performances, installations, student shows, and public events. A 1,200-square-foot contemporary art gallery is also available for more formal exhibitions.
51 Main in downtown Middlebury hosted an art exhibition entitled “The Sum is Greater,” featuring the artwork of students enrolled in the winter term course “Invoking the Third Mind: Conversations & Collaborations Between Artists,” co-taught by Louisa Conrad & Lucas Farrell. The title of the course paid tribute to William Burroughs, who argued that through the process of collaboration an anonymous, disembodied, and superior “third mind” is created.
