Who am I?

My formal name is William Cromar, M.F.A. and I am:

• Associate Teaching Professor, B.A. in Art Program
• Coordinator, newMedia concentration
• Coordinator, Abington ∞ MakerSpace

And as an exhibiting artist I am known as williamCromar. BUT when we’re in the studio, call me Bill, Professor, Mr. Cromar, Cromar… whatever level of formality you are comfortable using is fine. My pronouns? He-him-his.

What is this studio?

This description for DART 202 is found at the University Bulletin and includes information about credits and prerequisites.

Where and when is our studio?

• Our studio space: 341 Woodland, a.k.a. the Mac Lab.
• Studio meeting times: Mon – Wed  9:05-11:50. We start promptly on time and use the full allotted time, though we do take a brief break on the hour.

Can we work there outside of class time?

• YES: The Mac Lab is open during campus hours MTWR 7-10 and F 7-6. I am there MTWR 9-12 and MW 1:30-4:30, and you are free to use any open workstation. Other studios using the space may also permit this; ask the instructor. It’s free all day on Fridays. If the door is locked, visit Woodland 347 and ask to have it opened.
• PC Labs around campus are also available whenever they are not scheduled for a class.
• Abington ∞ MakerSpace is available M-F 9-5. Reserve time under Digital Spaces in the reserve tool found at the link.

And, everyone knows I’m obsessed about my spirit country: Scotland! If you know Scots Gaelic, you can call me Uilleam — WOOL-yum — or in the Scots language Wullie — WELL-y. I cook up a mean haggis at holiday time. And my tartan is Farquharson Ancient, a particularly beautiful one, so of course I wear my kilt to every graduation!)

Do you have a spirit country? Let me know about it!

Fàilte don stiùidio — welcome to the studio!
