Dear Tyler graduate,

Next month, Temple will host a wide range of events for the inaugural Jack Wolgin International Competition in the Fine Arts, which will award its recipient a prize of $150,000 -- the world’s largest given to a visual artist in a juried competition. This year's finalists are Sanford Biggers, Michael Rakowitz and Ryan Trecartin.

Activities will be held throughout October on Temple's Main Campus. Visit www.myowlspace.com/wolgincompetition for a complete schedule and details on each of the activities.
