Exhibit Award and New Home
Our exhibit, Open to Question, has won an Award of Excellence from this year's UCDA Design Competition. The UCDA (University and College Designers Association) awards the best works created either for or by educational institutions. Congratulations to Prof. Kristine Matthews and her Fall 2008 design students for their achievement.
After negotiations with the Seattle Department of Neighborhoods, the University of Washington Office of Regional Affairs has taken ownership of the Open to Question outdoor exhibit as of September 5, 2009. It has been moved to the breezeway between the two Allen Library buildings (west of the HUB and east of Red Square) where it will continue to be open to the public at no charge through Winter quarter.
Three hundred copies of the Open to Question oral histories DVD have been made and are being distributed. The Seattle Public Library has cataloged 6 copies and shelved them at the Main, University and Green Lake Branches. These interviews with 12 residents who were peace and anti-war activists during the 1960's and 1970's are also available online at YouTube.
An Educator's Guide to the Open to Question outdoor exhibit is now available to teachers of high school and college students. For copies, please contact Layla Taylor or William Larrimore.
