			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p><span><span>   On a rainy day in November I grab a cup of coffee and rush back to my next meeting only to be surprised by art.  Students from the Department of Art have converted a pre-existing and somewhat cold architectural form, adjacent to Westby Hall (home of the Department of Art), into a youthful and bright work of art.  Between Westby and Wilson Hall (home of the Department of Music) lies a stream by which students have piled rocks in what I assume to be another expression of art&#8230;or perhaps it was just beavers misbehaving?  Whether we&#8217;ve been ArtBlitzed or whether these were class assignments, the result is the same:  Art is integral to the culture of Rowan University.</span></span></p>
<p><span><span>   You&#8217;ll also notice photos illustrating signs of progress as Wilson Hall receives a facelift <a href="http://www.flickr.com/photos/21951938@N06/3008046639" class="tt-flickr"></a>and the bridge between Westby and Wilson (complete with transgressing pedestrian) is being redesigned.  All of these (except the pedestrian, of course) signify the vitality of and commitment to the arts at Rowan University. </span></span><span></span><span></span><span></span><span></p>

<p class="MsoNormal">The American conductor and composer, Leonard Bernstein, said that art “can name the un-nameable and communicate the unknowable.”<span>   </span>Every day, in the studio, the gallery, the classroom, the concert hall and the theatre, our Rowan University students and faculty are expressing the un-nameable and the unknowable in exhilarating new ways.<span>  </span>In Wilson Hall, you’ll hear world renowned faculty members collaborating with students in a performance of jazz standards arranged for baritone sax and various and unusual percussion instruments; in Tohill Auditorium you’ll experience a celebrated director bringing a comic masterpiece to the stage; and in the Rowan University Gallery you can enjoy a gallery talk by an acclaimed printmaker showcasing monotypes and paintings, discussing his visual expression of nature.<span>  </span>Whatever the case, our venues are always filled with eager observers awaiting the next exuberant twist in the road.<span>  </span>I invite you to <em>Picture Yourself Here</em>!</p>
