“By Students, for Students”

Atelier InSite is a Creative Inquiry project that implements public artwork on the Clemson University Campus.

It capitalizes on a cross-disciplinary and inclusive approach that is predominantly student driven. Our goal is to create a new paradigm for the administration of public art on university campuses.

The word Atelier is derived from the French word meaning "workshop" or "studio. Atelier describes the atmosphere and attitude towards the installation and development of public art on campus.

Meet the Creative Inquiry Students

Our creative inquiry team has engaged students representing all of the 5 colleges on campus: Agriculture, Forestry, and Life Science; Architecture, Arts, and Humanities; Business and Behavioral Science; Engineering and Science; and Health, Education, and Human Development. These departments come together in our team collaboratively working in a predominantly student driven class for the implementation of public art on the campus of Clemson University. Creative Inquiry is an initiative at Clemson University that engages students at the Undergraduate level in applied research.

Kate Cisne - Economics

"Hi, I’m Kate Cisne! I am a senior economics major from Charlotte, North Carolina with a minor in both brand communications and art. I began my art minor with a passion for art, and my first class happened to be this Creative Inquiry. Three semesters later, I have continued my work with this group in working towards a better Clemson while exploring the possibilities of how art can impact society."

Lilly Respess - Management and Economics

"I am passionate about installing public art on Clemson’s campus because I love Clemson and want to see it excel. I am particularly passionate about the Shaping the Land: Past, Present, Future project that focuses on reconciling Clemson’s history with the student body today. I am a management and economics major from Valdosta, Georgia and am planning to graduate in May 2026"

McKenzie Sheperis - History

"My name is McKenzie Sheperis and I am from Concord, North Carolina, and I am a history major with a minor in art. Within this Creative Inquiry course I am hoping to not only learn more about the impact of those enslaved and convict laborers on Clemson’s history but also to help teach others about it and recognize their legacies through public art on campus."

Megan Tapley - Visual Arts

"Hey, I am MJ Tapley! I am a visual arts major specializing in ceramics originally from Irmo, SC. Throughout my education, I have fallen in love with ceramic and culinary arts. My passions reside in the intersection of art and food, and how we can use art to amplify our food intake."

Anleigh Breedon - Visual Arts

"Hello, my name is Anleigh Breedon! I’m a senior BFA student with a studio concentration in drawing. This is my first semester with CU Public Art and I am eager to be a part of the upcoming projects on campus! I’m interested in learning about arts administration as well as the community engagement and outreach involved with planning public art."

Joshua Steele - Landscape Architecture

"Hey, my name is Joshua Steele and I’m a senior Landscape Architecture major with a minor in art originally from Conyers, Georgia. I am eager to further my knowledge about public art here at Clemson University and being a part of bringing awareness to the enslaved and convict laborers that built this campus."

Syd Greene – Visual Arts

"I’m a senior BFA student with an emphasis in drawing. I’m interested in expanding my skills and knowledge of the art world beyond a studio practice through CU Public Art. During my time at Clemson, I have also worked as an intern for the Lee Gallery and as a studio assistant."
