ART * MUSIC* and WALLPAPER DESIGN



In 1973, Mark Mothersbaugh and his art student friends formed the idea of the "devolution" of the human race. In 1973 the trio started to play music as DEVO (Crack that Whip!).

In film, Mothersbaugh has worked frequently with filmmaker Wes Anderson, and scored most of his feature films (Bottle Rocket, Rushmore, The Royal Tenenbaums and his music has been a staple of the children's television shows Rugrats, Beakman's World, and Clifford the Big Red Dog.

Citywide Internship opportunities for UTC students

http://createhere.org/projects/plugdin/
Plugdin is a citywide residency program that reaches Chattanooga’s interns across disciplines and cultivates leadership skills. Plugdin was designed to attract and retain a dynamic workforce in Chattanooga by eliminating barriers to entry, in the workplace and outside of it. The program’s major strength is its ability to connect interns with other young professionals, giving them the opportunity to round out their view of this city.


Originally a project of CreateHere, Plugdin is currently administered by YPAC who has reached out to a new audience of students at UTC.
