The mission of the CSM Creative Art's Club is to demonstrate to the community how creativity, technology and science can and must be intrgrated to aid technological process. We shall do this by offering students and community members ways to express their creativity in numerous ways
CAC was formed in 2003 to offer a creative outlet for students interested in the arts. Since then we have held many fun activities and created some lasting works of art on the campus and continue to do so. CAC is free and open to any student no matter what your skill level or interest, wether it be painting, sculpture, music, or whatever you consider to be art.
So that we do not bore you, from no on we will not hold regular meetings, but rather one big and fun informational meeting in the beginning of the semester, and from then on keep you updated on all the activities through campus ads, email, and this website. The following are some reasons why you should join:

don't forget to support High Grade, CSM's exclusive literary journal featuring student artwork and writing. The next issue is due out in April!
As some of us older members begin to graduate, we are going to need new members to continue the club. If you would like to help keep the arts alive at Mines, contact one of the officers and they will show you everything you need to know to keep the club and art shows up and running in the comming years!
"Ignited Visions" is the title of the art show held each semester in Arthur Lakes Library. It features the work of CSM students, faculty and staff. Submissions can be almost any medium, not extermely large due to the lack of space (less than 6?x6?, roughly) and should be appropriate for public display (use your best judgment, remember what school we go too?). To submit work for the next show, please see the dates and deadlines below.
If you would like to submit, the following requirements apply:
Please email a photo of your work with the title, media, and dimensions as well as if you are a student, faculty, etc, and any thing else you would like to share as your major or department, to sgarding@mines.edu.
If your work is selected, please fill out the waiver form (linked above), and bring your pieces to the front desk in the library.
For each show we hold a reception for the opening of the show. There is food, drinks, and music. Everyone is invited and will be Wednesday, March 8th from 4-5:50 in Boettcher Room of the LIbrary.
We will be handing artwork the week of Feb. 27 and always need help, so if you are interested in helping, please contact Serena or Lydia.
Deadlines for artists to pick up work at the end of the semester is Friday, May 5th (Dead Day).
Please check back for updates
