JCSM awarded five honors in SEMC publication competitionAUBURN, Ala. – The Southeastern Museum Conference, a regional museum professional organization, has awarded the Jule Collins Smith Museum of Fine Art five different honors in the 21st Annual SEMC Publication Competition contest this year. The winning entries were announced and displayed at the annual meeting in Charleston, W.V. October 13 -16, 2009. Four of the awards were directed to the JCSM’s outstanding in-house designs, which included the catalogue and invitation for “Dale Kennington: Subjective Mythologies”, which captured two gold awards; the September – December 2008 museum newsletter and the 2009 Auburn University Art Department Studio Faculty Catalogue which both garnered silver awards. Also honored with a silver award for content was the publication “A Present for My Country” John James Audubon’s American Voice by Taylor D. Littleton. JCSM’s graphic designer is Janet Guynn. The SEMC Publication Design Competition was begun in 1988 to recognize and reward excellence in graphic design in southeastern museum publications. The competition encourages communication, effective design, creativity and pride of work, and recognition of institutional image and identity. Open since 2003, the Jule Collins Smith Museum of Fine Art at Auburn University is Alabama’s only university art museum. Serving as the gateway into Auburn University, the museum has a wide-ranging permanent collection, which includes more than 100 Audubon prints, Tibetan bronzes dating from as early as the 15th century and works by important American modern artists, such as Arthur Dove, Georgia O’Keeffe and Lyonel Feininger. The museum rotunda features a three-tiered, hand-blown glass chandelier created especially for the space by internationally renowned glass artist Dale Chihuly. The museum experience continues onto the grounds with fifteen acres of gardens, walking paths and water features complete with outdoor sculpture, including Spinoff, created by Auburn alumna Jean Woodham.
