Social works of art
Above, a triptych with the School of Social Work’s mission statement decorates the lobby wall outside college dean Wynne Korr’s suite at the school’s new facilities at 1010 W. Nevada St., Urbana. Each of the 3-foot by 5-foot panels contains images that reflect the school’s purpose.
Below, Champaign artist Tanya Shur was commissioned to create 100 ceramic tiles that decorate the main hallway (at right) and honor alumni and friends who support the school. Nine different designs are on the 5 1/4-inch tiles. Honorees’ or donors’ names are displayed on acrylic nameplates. The sponsored tiles are interspersed with plain purple tiles, not sponsored by donors, created by local artist Michael Schwegmann. A dedication ceremony for Social Work’s new facilities took place April 24.
