In partnership with EIU Department of Art + Design, the Tarble is hosting Art Mix, an after-school program for junior high and high school artists led by Dr. Brad Olson and students earning degrees in Art Education.
Art from Here is an exhibition of art by K-12 students in east-central Illinois organized by the Tarble Arts Center at Eastern Illinois University along with regional art educators.
This annual soup dinner crowdfunds microgrants for arts and community initiatives in Coles County. Attendees pay $10 (cash only) at the door for a bowl of soup and a ballot to vote on 5-minute proposals given by those seeking funds for initiatives that support art, creativity, and community. Votes are tallied and one winner takes the proceeds of each event to fund their creative idea.
Typically, the last thing a museum wants you to do is touch the artwork. But for the Tarble's biennial flat-file exhibition, visitors will be allowed and even encouraged to page through portfolios installed in the galleries.
The Tarble invites professional artists to submit two-dimensional or low-relief works that will fit within an 18 x 24-inch portfolio folder provided by the Tarble. Eligible artists either live and work geographically nearby, are faculty, staff, or alumni of EIU, or have worked on projects with the Tarble in the past. Sorry, this exhibition is NOT open to currently enrolled students, only practicing artists 18 years of age and older.
Open to all EIU art students, this annual spring exhibition features jury-selected examples of undergraduate study in drawing, painting, printmaking, ceramics, metalsmithing/jewelry, sculpture, fashion design, digital art, and graphic design.
This call is currently closed.
The Tarble Arts Center awards two competitive graduate assistantships each academic year, as well as student worker positions and academic internships for semester-long appointments that can be renewed. These opportunities are awarded to highly qualified students at Eastern Illinois University through an application process.
The Tarble Arts Center at Eastern Illinois University is seeking candidates for a full-time Civil Service position of Audience Development Manager.
