PARSONS ALUMNI EXHIBITION

On Friday, October 21, more than a hundred attendees of Parsons Reunion 2011 (October 21–22) gathered at the Aronson Galleries of the Sheila C. Johnson Design Center to celebrate the opening of the inaugural Parsons Alumni Exhibition. Members of the Parsons community and the public mingled in the gallery, viewing more than 50 pieces in a range of media. The exhibition was an effort led by Pam Klein, Parsons’ associate dean of Student Affairs, whose curatorial team chose recent alumni works from the hundreds submitted. The show featured pieces by Parsons graduates from the past half-century who collectively represent the rich history and disciplinary breadth of Parsons. Taking in the crowd, DANNY MALONEY, BFA ILLUSTRATION ’89, said, “It was great seeing pieces by fellow alumni I work with as well as ones by old friends. Art brings people out to reconnect.”
