This week I would like to highlight some of Marywood’s many art clubs and organizations available to students. These clubs can be fun and beneficial to art students and non-art students alike, and if you feel drawn toward a certain club, reach out and get involved! Marywood has so many groups to offer, each with its own community to help you grow as an artist, have fun, or get introduced to art-making.
Zeta Omicron
Zeta Omicron is Marywood’s chapter of Kappa Pi, International Art Honor Society. It is a service-based honor society that emphasis emphasizes community, leadership, and service. To apply to be a member of Zeta Omicron, art students must be a Sophomore or above with a GPA of 3.0 overall and a GPA of 3.25 in their art major. Along with its many other events and benefits, Zeta Omicron hosts an annual art showcase for its members.
