KCSS Turlock has big goals for 2015. Not only are they working on a compilation album that features local musicians and their original songs, they are looking to incorporate a local artist as well.
The radio station is accepting submissions of any original artwork now through March 9 at 9 a.m. Submissions may be emailed to [email protected] or brought into the KCSS offices. The staff hopes that the artwork embraces the local music scene to accurately represent the compilation album.
KCSS Station Manager Angelina Moles is always looking for new ways to support the students of CSU Stanislaus.
“I think it’s important for KCSS to incorporate other art forms because music is art, so what better way to incorporate art than through music,” Moles said. “We are here for the students; we are the voice of CSU Stanislaus. It is very important that students know that we are here for them.”
KCSS looks forward to the ideas from competition participants to help them move forward with the album.
CSU Stanislaus art student Victoria Johnson (senior, Art) shares her artwork in many different galleries throughout the Central Valley and has great respect for all art forms.
“There are so many talented artists at the college and within our community, but not always a vast amount of opportunities for them to showcase their work,” Johnson said. “I think this is a great way to give these artists an opportunity. I also think it is extremely important for students to collaborate across departments and network through these types of collaborations.”
KCSS looks forward to seeing the art submissions and hopes to utilize a local artist to represent the compilation album. If you have any questions about art submissions contact [email protected].
