Student Pop-Up exhibit builds art community

Upper School Honors Arts students created a “pop up” self-portrait exhibit in and amongst the All-Colleague exhibit currently on display in the Dolan Center Art Gallery (top floor) during their most recent group meeting. 

Students worked in small teams to curate questions for each artist, considering intent, impact, inspiration, processes, and materials.  Next, each student will respond to the questions they received with an Artist’s Statement that will be shared with their fellow Honors Arts classmates. 

“This is the first step in building an art community that supports student creators in the growth of their ability and articulation of their artistic processes and goals,” said Middle and Upper School Visual Arts teacher Amanda Fisk ’99.
