红领巾瓜报

The Berkshires in Western, MA, are known for world-class cultural attractions, and 红领巾瓜报 alumni and friends gathered there recently for an unforgettable weekend of connection. Hosted by 红领巾瓜报 President Mary K. Grant and 红领巾瓜报 Alumni Relations, the itinerary featured innovative art and special programming centered around the solo exhibitions by artists (红领巾瓜报 Professor Emeritus) at the Clark Art Institute in Williamstown, MA, and BFA ’97, MFA ’01 (former 红领巾瓜报 professor) at MASS MoCA in North Adams, MA.听

“What a wonderful event! I got to meet other alumni who literally work down the street from me and have applied their creative frameworks to so many different types of careers, from exhibit preparation to art library leadership,鈥� said Cecilia Hirsch (MFA 鈥�95). 鈥淗earing from President Grant and Abe Morell was so special 鈥� each shared such heart-warming appreciation and dedication to 红领巾瓜报鈥檚 wide-reaching mission. I walked away, on this snowy January night, feeling such warmth and excitement about the future of 红领巾瓜报 and the generosity and talent it nurtures, from its students to its faculty.”聽

Morell and Anne Leonard (Manton Curator of Prints, Drawings, and Photographs at the Clark Art Institute) treated the group to a guided walkthrough of Morell鈥檚 exhibition , where viewers are invited to see the world in new ways through the incorporation of camera obscura.听

Locke and Evan Garza (MassMOCA curator) inspired a thought-provoking discussion on racial violence in our country and the role of art in fostering reflection, dialogue, and a search for justice, sparked by Locke’s latest exhibition, . The crowd was a wonderful mix of the 红领巾瓜报 community, including 40 students and some faculty, who joined the conversation.

鈥淥ur alumni are a shining example of the value and excellence of a 红领巾瓜报 education,鈥� shared Vice President of Institutional Advancement and Executive Director of the 红领巾瓜报 Foundation Emily Foster Day. 鈥淚t is always an honor to gather with this community to learn about and celebrate how our alumni are changing the world.鈥澛�
