Part of the ArtsLink Presents Parnassus Emerging Artist Series. Free refreshments!
Andrew Franks, undergraduate filmmaker, will be screening several of his videos and answering questions about pursing his creative passion at the UW. Through work in Cinema Studies and DXARTS as well as experiences outside of the classroom, Andrew has been able to design for himself a singular and meaningful educational opportunity. To preview some of his work, visit http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=LBFqMTI8VEM
The Parnassus Emerging Artist Series is a casual forum for undergraduate student artists in the visual, literary and performing arts to exhibit and present their work and talk about their educational experiences and artistic practice with their fellow students. Poets, photographers, musicians, filmmakers, designers, and dancers — all current students or recent alumni — answer questions from the audience in an open-ended format. For students investigating the arts as a possible major, this is a great opportunity to learn more in an interactive, informal context.
Parnassus, a student-operated cafe in the basement of the Art building, serves a comprehensive menu of espresso and teas as well as food items. Please join us! For upcoming events in the series, visit the blog.
Music major, Charlotte Dike, performs.

JRR Tolkien: A Storyteller’s Story, “Allegory and Farewell”
This lecture takes up the question of how Tolkien’s work has been interpreted and received over the years, from accusations of racism and sexism to Peter Jackson’s recent film adaptations. The last word, however, is given to Tolkien himself. Join us as we examine the stories and poems of his later years and watch him reflect on how he chose to spend his life, and on the frequently tortured relationship between creator and creation. Kane Hall Room 130 UW Seattle Campus. 7-9 PM $5 Students $15 Non-Students. More Info
