New Way Media and Arts Festival
Olivet College of Art & Design will be hosting this year’s New Way Media & Arts Festival. Led by founder and host Dr. David Randolph, the festival is to exhibit original works of art with special reference to new media and explore their relationship to faith and contemporary culture. OCAD students will be participating in the exhibition, displaying graphic design works done throughout the Fall semester.
This Festival has been celebrated annually since 2004, introducing original works of art to a larger audience, engaged diverse groups in discussing vital issues, honored distinguished leaders such as Jane Dillenberger, OCAD’s dean Dr. Joan Carter, and stimulated exploration of deep faith and high tech.
The New Way Media & Arts Festival fits precisely into the CARE mission especially in regard to the interfacing of persons and concerns and the Olivet Mission especially in regard to combining deep faith and high tech.
Guest speaker will also include Dan Schumaker, Visual Effects artist from Industrial Light & Magic. Mr. Schumaker will shed light on his experience in combining Christian faith into his professional career. Some of the film credits he worked on include: Twister, Star Trek First Contact, Empire Strikes Back Special Edition, Flubber, Small Soldiers, Star Wars Episode I, and Perfect Storm.
The New Way Media and Arts Media Festival 2009 will be held on Thursday Dec. 17, 2009 at Olivet University at 250 Fourth St. in San Francisco beginning at 1 PM. with Celebration in the Chapel and with the awards ceremony at 4:30 PM.
