Subject: Call for Applications: 2016─2017 Contemporary Art Purchasing
Program

Description:
Over the past decade, the Stamp Student Union—Center for Campus Life at the
University of Maryland, College Park, has developed an innovative,
student-led Contemporary Art Purchasing Program (CAPP) whose mission is to
educate and inspire by exposing the campus community to thought-provoking art
by noted contemporary artists. The program provides a student committee the
opportunity to interact with the art world by researching, discussing, and
purchasing by emerging and established contemporary artists. Students of
diverse majors are selected to participate in the application process.
Together they embark on a rigorous research and training program, including
extensive visits to galleries and artists’ studios in Baltimore, New York,
and Washington, DC.

The Stamp Gallery is now accepting applicants for the 2016–2017 CAPP
committee. To apply, carefully review program requirements
