The Hatchery | Inventory Investigation

The inventory of the Hatchery would consist of products from all of the different fine arts departments at UNCG.

The Art department could sell, of course, their works of art. This includes sculptures, drawings, paintings, and other artifacts they create. People specializing in photography can take beautiful photos of Greensboro and sell them as post cards.

Some people in the music school could sell their compositions they have written, if said compositions are particularly outstanding. Or if any students at UNCG have a CD that they have had recorded of themselves and their instruments, they could sell those there.

Students from the creative writing department could sell poems and stories they have written. There would be a great opportunity for collaboration between this and the art students. Maybe the art students could illustrate for the stories. Or the poems could written atop of a painting to make a cool piece of art.

The CARS department at UNCG can design clothing to sell within the shop. That would be a good incentive for them to design well-crafted clothing--the idea that it is actually going in a real store and going to be for sale. A good idea for collaboration between students would be that a graphic artist student could design a graphic and it could be printed onto t-shirts.

This is only a few ideas of pieces of art that can be sold within the store. I think that once we all put our heads together, many many more ideas will emerge. Once the idea was introduced that students from different departments could come together and work on pieces of art, the possibilities for creativity really opened up.
