Thursday’s LINE Art Review Magazine Release Party at the Tang has been in our calendars for months, but no one is more excited than Daniel Kapp, Co-President (alongside Allison Gretchko) and Editor in Chief of LINE. After a full year of hard work, we sat down with Daniel to talk about LINE, the party, and what it’s like to be an Editor-in-Chief.
Name: Daniel Kapp
Year: 2017
Major: Business & French
Hometown: Bedford, New York
Her Campus: So, how did you get involved with LINE?
Daniel: Well, honestly, I remember seeing a really memorable poster hung on Case walkway, advertising the first meeting last year. I nervously went to the meeting in Tisch – I think I was actually the first one there. I liked the vibe a lot and the rest was history. Now I’m here with my stupendous Co-President, Allison Gretchko.
HC: Being an Editor in Chief must be a lot of work. What’s been your favorite part about it?
DK: Despite the hard work, seeing the completed magazine is the most rewarding part. I smile a lot as it is, but haven’t been able to stop over the past few days as the magazine has been printed.
HC: What makes this year’s issue of LINE different from last year’s?
DK: Seriously, good question. I’m a big contemporary art fan, so this year’s issue definitely reflects that. The colors are an important change, too – lot’s of bright and expressive colors that were sort of missing last year.
HC: What do we have to look forward to at the LINE Release Party on Thursday?
DK: What is there not to look forward to, honestly? I couldn’t be more proud of this year’s LINE and that will definitely come across in Thursday’s party. Free copies of LINE, a jazz ensemble, a multitude of incredible Skidmore performers, and free catered food, can you say wow? https://www.facebook.com/events/421909797991171/
HC: Do you have any big plans for LINE’s future? How can we get involved next year?
DK: Because we’re an annual publication, we hope to have a bigger presence first semester too, with a weekly digital publication covering music events, performances, Case Gallery shows, and whatever else your mind can dream up. Really, we have a place for anyone with an interest in LINE. You don’t have to write to get involved either. We love having a diverse group and that means welcoming every idea that comes our way.
Come out to the Tang Thursday night from 5-7 to celebrate with LINE. There will be free food!
