INDIANA, Pa. â Two senior studio art majors at Indiana University of Pennsylvania were chosen as the recipients of the 2020 Art in the Arboretum competition, designed to provide student artists with an opportunity to create art for IUPâs Allegheny Arboretum.
David Salinas, from Zelienople, and Katie West, from Pittsburgh, created a design called âBirds of a Tree,â which was chosen by the Art in the Arboretum Selection Committee as the winning proposal. Both were students in Sean Derryâs public art class, which works with the Art in the Arboretum project.
Established in 2000, the Allegheny Arboretum encompasses the entire 374 acres of the IUP campus, including a 150-acre woodland. In 2005, the Allegheny Arboretum officially became part of the university. It is overseen by the Allegheny Arboretum Board, which provides guidance in meeting the arboretumâs goals and objectives.
