Limited Edition Tote Bags for Donations Above $250!

October 09, 2019

Dear Friends, Alumni, and Colleagues, 

 

We're so grateful for everyone who has donated to Activate SVAD!, our project that will redesign and reinvigorate the courtyard at the School of Visual Art and Design at the University of South Carolina. 

 

For every donation at or above the $250 level, we are sending our donors a limited-edition canvas tote bag that has been screen-printed by our very own students and designed by BFA student Alyson Fisher

 

There's still time to make a contribution! Right now through October 25th, you can make a donation and support the student experience. 

 

You can really help us meet our goal by sharing this video with your friends and colleagues! 

 

A Message from Wade Sellers, 1996 Media Arts Alumnus

October 07, 2019

SVAD Alumni, 

 

Wade Sellers, a 1996 Media Arts Alumnus and owner of the independent production company Coal Powered Filmworks in Columbia, South Carolina, would like to share a message with you!

 

Each donation made to Activate SVAD!  will go directly towards purchasing tables and seating, adding new plants, and creating a brick terrace!

 

Here are just five giving levels to show you where your donations will go:

 

$10: Your gift at this level will help us remove overgrown vegetation in our courtyard.

$25: Your gift at this level will provide a square foot of brick terrace

$100: Your gift at this level will provide four new shrubs!

$250: Your gift at this level will support the purchase of an outdoor chair

$500: Your gift at this level will support the purchase of a new weather-resistant table

 

You can always give above or below these levels—any amount helps us get one step closer to our goal!

 

On behalf of our almost 700 fine artists, media producers, filmmakers, art historians, art educators, and culture workers, thank you for your continued support of the University of South Carolina!

 

Thank you to our donors! We're at $1,316!

October 03, 2019

With your support, we've been able to raise $1,316 towards our renovation project!

 

We still have a lot of people to reach, and a big vision for our courtyard.
