Now an annual project, more student-created art will find its away along North Nevada, according to Matt Barton, assistant professor, Visual and Performing Arts Department.<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;This program is a unique professional opportunity for our students as it provides an essential stepping stone between their university studies and their post-graduation careers,&#8221; Barton said. &#8220;In many public art calls for submissions, artists are asked to submit examples of previous public projects. This is the classic catch 22 where you need experience to get experience and it can be difficult to get one&#8217;s foot in the door. This award allows for a real, permanent, public piece in our students&#8217; portfolios as they initiate their careers.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;Molded Earth&#8221; by\u00a0Lisa Cross<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"http:\/\/communique.uccs.edu\/wp-content\/uploads\/2012\/02\/IMG_4232.jpg\"><img fetchpriority=\"high\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter size-large wp-image-5884\" title=\"IMG_4232 Molded Earth by Lisa Cross\" src=\"http:\/\/communique.uccs.edu\/wp-content\/uploads\/2012\/02\/IMG_4232-555x833.jpg\" alt=\"Molded Earth sculpture with Pikes Peak in the background\" width=\"555\" height=\"833\" srcset=\"https:\/\/communique.uccs.edu\/wp-content\/uploads\/2012\/02\/IMG_4232-555x833.jpg 555w, https:\/\/communique.uccs.edu\/wp-content\/uploads\/2012\/02\/IMG_4232-300x450.jpg 300w, https:\/\/communique.uccs.edu\/wp-content\/uploads\/2012\/02\/IMG_4232.jpg 1200w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 555px) 100vw, 555px\" \/><\/a><\/p>\n<p><a href=\"http:\/\/communique.uccs.edu\/wp-content\/uploads\/2012\/02\/IMG_4227.jpg\"><img decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter size-large wp-image-5883\" title=\"IMG_4227 Molded Earth sculpture closeup\" src=\"http:\/\/communique.uccs.edu\/wp-content\/uploads\/2012\/02\/IMG_4227-555x833.jpg\" alt=\"Closeup of Molded Earth sculpture\" width=\"555\" height=\"833\" srcset=\"https:\/\/communique.uccs.edu\/wp-content\/uploads\/2012\/02\/IMG_4227-555x833.jpg 555w, https:\/\/communique.uccs.edu\/wp-content\/uploads\/2012\/02\/IMG_4227-300x450.jpg 300w, https:\/\/communique.uccs.edu\/wp-content\/uploads\/2012\/02\/IMG_4227.jpg 1200w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 555px) 100vw, 555px\" \/><\/a><\/p>\n<p>&#8220;Evolution&#8221; by Deb Zelenak<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"http:\/\/communique.uccs.edu\/wp-content\/uploads\/2012\/02\/IMG_4239.jpg\"><img decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter size-large wp-image-5885\" title=\"IMG_4239 Evolution by Deb Zelenak\" src=\"http:\/\/communique.uccs.edu\/wp-content\/uploads\/2012\/02\/IMG_4239-555x833.jpg\" alt=\"Evolution sculpture Deb Zelenak with Pikes Peak in the background\" width=\"555\" height=\"833\" srcset=\"https:\/\/communique.uccs.edu\/wp-content\/uploads\/2012\/02\/IMG_4239-555x833.jpg 555w, https:\/\/communique.uccs.edu\/wp-content\/uploads\/2012\/02\/IMG_4239-300x450.jpg 300w, https:\/\/communique.uccs.edu\/wp-content\/uploads\/2012\/02\/IMG_4239.jpg 1200w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 555px) 100vw, 555px\" \/><\/a><\/p>\n<p><a href=\"http:\/\/communique.uccs.edu\/wp-content\/uploads\/2012\/02\/IMG_4243.jpg\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter size-large wp-image-5886\" title=\"IMG_4243 Evolution sculpture Deb Zelenak closeup\" src=\"http:\/\/communique.uccs.edu\/wp-content\/uploads\/2012\/02\/IMG_4243-555x833.jpg\" alt=\"Closeup Evolution sculpture Deb Zelenak\" width=\"555\" height=\"833\" srcset=\"https:\/\/communique.uccs.edu\/wp-content\/uploads\/2012\/02\/IMG_4243-555x833.jpg 555w, https:\/\/communique.uccs.edu\/wp-content\/uploads\/2012\/02\/IMG_4243-300x450.jpg 300w, https:\/\/communique.uccs.edu\/wp-content\/uploads\/2012\/02\/IMG_4243.jpg 1200w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 555px) 100vw, 555px\" \/><\/a><\/p>\n<p><em>&#8212; Photos by Jeff Foster, University Advancement<\/em><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<div class=\"mh-excerpt\"><p>Two UCCS alumnae left their mark on Colorado Springs when sculptures completed while they were students were selected for display at the University Village Colorado shopping center on North Nevada.
