A new partnership with the International Association of Lighting Designers (IALD) will allow 10 USITT student members to attend the upcoming IALD Confernece.  In the past, IALD has sponsored several of their member’s attendance at the USITT Annual Conference & Stage Expo.  

In 2011, thanks to a grant from the USITT Commissioner’s Fund, the Institute will sponsor 10 USITT student members who will be able to attend IALD’s conference in Denver, Colorado from October 7 to 9.

Deadline for USITT students to apply is September 15. IALD has a strong focus on architectural lighting design and provides a way for theatrical lighting designers to stretch their work in new directions.  This exciting endeavor comes thanks to a person who is a member of both organizations, Jill Mullholland.

Students interested in taking advantage of this opportunity need to act quickly.  Instructions for applying for the stipend, which includes travel and housing, can be found here. Portfolio guidelines for the USITT grant can be found here.
