Bonham, Texas -- Universal Limited Art Editions is an acclaimed printmaking studio located on Long Island in Bay Shore, New York. It boasts a rich history of collaborating with artists such as Robert Rauschenberg, Jasper Johns, Kiki Smith, and many other influential artists of our time.
Bill Goldston, OSU alumnus and current owner of ULAE, has been affording all-expenses-paid internships for three students in the OSU Art Department every year since 1987. He is passionate about providing a platform for students to be immersed in a new environment and take advantage of everything New York City has to offer.
Next fall, it will be one of Fannin County’s own, Will Lacy, making the journey from Oklahoma State University in Stillwater to New York for the fall semester.
Will is a Senior Graphic Design Major at Oklahoma State. This past spring, he applied for department level scholarships and received not one, but two prestigious scholarships, the ULAE scholarship as well as the Carson Scott. He also received an Honorable Mention in the 40th Annual Student Juried Exhibition in April.
Will, also a McKnight Leadership Scholar at OSU is looking forward to the challenge and excitement of the Big Apple. Will is the son of Rory Hilliard of Dodd City and Brad Lacy of Savoy. He is also the grandson of Roy and Lynda Floyd.
“At this point it seems surreal that next fall I will be in New York meeting world famous artists and visiting every museum I have ever dreamed about seeing,” remarks Will.
Mr. Lacy is ready for the adventure to begin!
