Tyler Students Love the New Studio Facility
This spring, several Tyler students were asked what they like most about relocating to Temple’s Main Campus. Here is what they had to say: |
 |
“I am really impressed with all the brand new equipment at Tyler.”
— Mia Casoli, B.F.A. ’12
“Tyler’s new building is incredible. Plus, I’m really glad I don’t have to shuttle between Main Campus and Elkins Park anymore. That commute was a real drain on my time and energy.”
— Claire Desalme, B.F.A. ’12
“Being in the city gives me lots to pull from, whereas Elkins Park felt isolated. Being on Main Campus puts me much closer to the university’s resources, and the studio spaces in Tyler’s new facility are inspirational. I’ve attended the Rome, Elkins Park, and now Temple’s Main Campus, and I can honestly say this is my favorite.”
— Fabian Lopez, M.F.A. ’09

From the Jewish Exponent
Funded by a $3.7 million gift, the Jack Wolgin International Competition in the Fine Arts at Temple’s Tyler School of Art will be the world’s largest fine arts award to an individual artist. In order to provide facilities that matched the quality of the Tyler education — and in order to see the school meet 21st-century challenges — Tyler recently moved to Temple’s Main Campus. According to Therese Dolan, Tyler’s interim dean, it was this urban art experiment that attracted Wolgin. More.
