ABOUT THE LAB The Thomas Napolitano Digital Art Studio was made possible thanks to a generous donation from Thomas and Barbara Napolitano. Mr. Napolitano is a college alumnus of Georgetown University from the class of 1969. The Studio was open for classes on January 12, 2000. The initial gift proposal was an initiative of Professor John Morrell and Professor Elizabeth Prelinger, Chair of the Art, Music and Theater Department at the time. The concept behind the new studio class room was to expand the curriculum of the Studio Art program to include the latest electronic media technologies to be employed as a means of artistic expression. The studio also provides a venue for the integration of traditional art forms with 21st century multimedia artistic practices. With the addition of this facility, Georgetown College initiated a tenure track faculty position in Digital Arts and Photography. After an international search during the 1999-2000 academic year, Professor Roberto Bocci was invited to join the Georgetown faculty in order to develop this new area in Studio Art. In addition to Studio Art classes the facility provided a resource for all faculty and students to develop multimedia projects.
