“I’m so proud that Lamont Gallery is a teaching gallery. As an extension of the classroom, we aim to compliment and support the learning that happens in the classroom and around the Harkness table. I relish the moments when students visit Lamont Gallery and thoughtfully question and interpret individual artworks and the overarching topics expressed throughout an exhibition.
Regardless of whether a student feels they are an artist or a creative, I always remind them that the gallery is an entry point for discovery and deep questioning. So, when I see connections made and topics explored that applies art as a tool to permeate multiple disciplines they are engaged in, that’s the kind of sweet spot that I find to be so rewarding and transformative as an educator.”
