SPENCER MUSEUM OF ART
Call for KU undergraduates studying literature or visual arts; Brosseau Creative Writing Award and Brosseau Creativity Award
Lawrence, Kansas
Deadline: March 18, 2011

A gift from Lavon Brosseau has established two Spencer Museum awards that will celebrate outstanding creativity among undergraduate students at the University of Kansas. The Jack and Lavon Brosseau Creative Writing Award recognizes outstanding creative writing in conjunction with a collaborative student project by an undergraduate, and the Jack and Lavon Brosseau Creativity Award recognizes outstanding creativity and originality by an undergraduate not yet in their final year of study.

Brosseau, a former high-school teacher from Concordia, Kansas, believes in education and in the profound importance of teaching. “There is a deep and almost sacred beauty in literature and in art,” says Brosseau. “Each may deal with the abstract and each may involve interpretation but each has its own reality that permits the mind to explore and to soar.”

The awards will honor creative work that evidences risk-taking and reflection, provides new insights, forms a part of critical thinking, and generates new ways of understanding. “These awards serve to further the Spencer’s mission to foster interdisciplinary exploration at the intersection of art, ideas, and experience, and we are deeply grateful to Lavon Brosseau for her commitment to these ideals,” says Celka Straughn, Andrew W. Mellon Director of Academic Programs for the Museum.
