The Albert P. Weisman Memorial Scholarship Fund was established in 1974 to encourage both undergraduate and graduate Columbia College Chicago students to complete projects in all fields of communication. With projects spanning 10 disciplines from 47 artists, this year's exhibition cuts a creative swath across themes as divergent as the business of dying, professional wrestling, and synesthetic experiences.
