This summer while everyone else was basking in the sun and soaking in the swimming pool Professor Robert Moran and his wife Andi were cranking out work for an exhibition of one-of-a-kind and limited-series lamps and light sculptures. The exhibition was hosted by Atlanta's Eclectic Electric Gallery. Numerous galleries around the country focus on functional art, but Eclectric Electric is one of the few devoted exclusively to designer-made lighting. Even though Prof. Moran's show officially ended in August, much of the work remains on display. Should any students or alumni happen t/o be in the Atlanta area, the gallery is located in the Virginia-Highland district, which is Atlanta's "bohemian zone" known for its concentration of interesting boutiques, restaurants, and bistros, and, of course, designs produced by Louisiana Tech professors.

His paintings were juried into three major exhibitions, resulting in two awards. At the Watercolor USA Exhibition at the Springfield Art Museum, in Springfield, Missouri, his painting, “Harris-Carmichael”, received a purchase award. The juror for the National Acrylic Painter’s Association, in Santa Fe, New Mexico, chose Professor Harrington’s painting, “Cross over Golindrinas”, to receive the Artist’s Magazine Award. This award will result in publication of the painting in an upcoming edition of the Artist’s Magazine. The third exhibition was the annual Arts for the Parks Top 100 in Jackson Hole, Wyoming. This exhibition is sponsored by the National Parks Service, and is one of the largest and most publicized art exhibitions in the country. Professor Harrington’s painting of the Buffalo National River, “Afternoon Float”, was one of 100 selected from over 1800 entries. The top 100 exhibition will go on a one year tour of selected USA museums and galleries. Details can be found at http://artsfortheparks.com . As if this was not enough to keep him busy, Professor Harrington was guest juror for the Georgia Watercolor Society’s (GWS) annual member’s exhibition and he conducted painting workshops for the GWS, and the 2002 Artist’s Materials Expo in Santa Fe, New Mexico. Harrington’s paintings are now represented in two art galleries, one in Santa Fe, and the other in Tulsa, Oklahoma.

Brotherston's research on the Byne residence in Madrid, Spain will focus on the artifacts Byne sold to William Randolph Hearst for inclusion in San Simeon. The Byne residence is now owned by the United States Department of State, used as private housing for the Deputy Chief of Missions at the American Embassy Madrid. Brotherston continues to be a consultant on the historic interior furnishings, where a color brochure was published citing her contributions. Brotherston's project was selected by the Research Council for a 2002 Summer Research Grant. Brotherston is the Interior Design Program Chair.
