Asphalt Art Applied Study

The City of Lethbridge is seeking an undergraduate student to participate in an applied study for the Winter 2024 semester. The student will carry out research, analysis and report-writing focusing on best practices for asphalt-applied artworks. Research will include examining municipal and community programs that fund and support asphalt artwork and identifying and analyzing completed projects to determine best practices and other useful information.

Exploring Connections for Fine Arts Applied Study

The focus of the applied study will be to carry out research and analysis regarding opportunities for current and future University of Lethbridge Fine Arts students to participate in WIL, in collaboration with the City of Lethbridge and our community partners. The student will explore the types of placements and opportunities available at other post-secondary fine arts programs, the needs of the City and our community partners in this area, and the intersections between those needs and the Faculty's programmatic offerings.
