The Importance of Arts and Humanities in 2021
Gateway Community & Technical College joins thousands of arts organizations and communities across the nation to celebrate National Arts and Humanities in October.
There will be displays at each of Gateway’s three campuses throughout the month. A unique exhibition will be shown during College’s student activities period on Wednesdays at the Edgewood Campus. Videos produced by students discussing the importance of Arts and Humanities will be presented. In addition, an art display developed by the students at Saint Paul Elementary School in Florence, Kentucky will be open for viewing.
A highlight of the celebration will be the annual arts and humanities video contest. Gateway students, employees, and community stakeholders are invited to create a film or video (7 minutes or less in length) that focuses on the importance of arts and humanities. The video will be accepted until Wednesday, October 13 at midnight.
“The Arts and Humanities are cause for celebration as we continue to explore and discover who we are as a community and as individuals,” said Gateway’s Arts and Humanities Month Chair Paul Frazier.
Entries may express this theme in any genre or shooting style. Entrants must post their work to YouTube and make the video setting public as well as complete an entry form.
Videos must remain public until November 7, 2021.
