MURFREESBORO — MTSU’s
true blue interior design majors will give full range of expression to all that
“blue” means in a fun, family-friendly event.
The MTSU student chapter of the American Society of Interior
Designers (ASID) will present “Singing the Blues” from 6:30 to 8:30 p.m.
Thursday, Sept. 18, at Oaklands Historic House Museum, 900 N. Maney Ave., in
Murfreesboro. This event is free and open to the public.
Amanda Farris-Gilliland, lead decorative product specialist
for Sherwin-Williams, will discuss decorative uses of the color blue from
Renaissance art to the cultivation and manufacture of dyes.
“We’ll see how our ancestors found ‘blue’ in nature and used
it in art, architecture and clothing,” Farris-Gilliland said.
The lecture will be preceded by a reception from 5 to 6:15
p.m. in Maney Hall. Attendees are encouraged to wear blue clothing, and door
prizes will be awarded for the best blue attire.
Farris-Gilliland, who is her company’s industry partner
representative for ASID, said it is important for future designers to have
mentors to make sure they have everything they need to succeed.
“We must be able to cultivate the next generation of
designers and emphasize the importance of networking to them,” Farris-Gilliland
said.
