Membership Fees: For new members, $15. For
students who already belong to the KU Ad Club, $10.
Meetings: First and third Wednesday of each
month.
Mission: The mission of the KU Art + Copy
Club is to provide any KU student interested in the creative
process in advertising a way to gain a greater understanding
of the creative process and develop their creativity through
projects, workshops, professional guest speakers and informational
field trips.
Future Activities: Although the club was
founded recently, it already has planned field trips to agencies
in Kansas City. The group also planned a spring break trip
to Chicago for an "Agency Crawl," which included visiting
the Leo Burnett, and J. Walter Thompson agencies, the Chicago
Tribune and several print houses.
They have also worked closely with the KC Ad Club and the
KC Art & Copy Club, allowing networking that can be beneficial
to both professionals and students.
They plan to videotape every guest speaker to have a video
library in the Journalism Resource Center, not only for the
use of club members but for anyone interested. They are also
getting reels of promotions ad agencies have done.
The club plans to invite guest speakers who work for a variety
of agencies, ranging from small to large, and even freelancers.
Another project will be a group that will work on developing
their portfolios.
