A visit to the NMSU art department

Hello all, I just wanted to give the rest of the class a quick update on what Camillo and I did on Monday. The both of us visited the art department in our attempt to solicit more submission. We did this by approaching several of the students (undergrad & graduates) as well as professors to make sure that they not only knew about the eventual publication of Din magazine, but also that we had pushed the deadline back from March 31st. Although some people seemed very excited about the opportunity to get published, there were several people who could not have look more dis-interested with our magazine or what we had to say. Isn't the goal of creating art to hopefully get as many people to see your work as possible? Either way, I hope that we were able to change a few minds in terms of submitting to our magazine; we had several people who did say that they had wanted to submit and were definitely going to. Overall, I am glad that the both of us took about 30 mins to walk around the art building and interact with potential submitters. We have a lot of talent in our art department and I can only hope that this is made evident by the work that is submitted and eventually chosen to be published in Din Magazine.
