A Celebration at BT

Welcome to Wild About BT!

There is a lot to be WILD about at Brownell Talbot, where every day is an adventure. Our faculty and staff serve as guides, supporting and encouraging our students as they realize successes in unique and meaningful ways. As we work to strengthen their understanding of who they are, what they are passionate about, and how they want to contribute to society, our students forge new paths, unafraid to put themselves out there and explore the world around them.

None of this is possible without BT’s amazing faculty and staff. They cultivate a learning environment that requires students to pursue a deeper understanding of their education so that they are empowered to have a positive impact at BT and as they intrepidly travel beyond our campus. We are excited to recognize faculty and staff as this year’s Honorary Chairs and celebrate their commitment to BT’s students and families. I consider myself very fortunate to work with this amazing group of people.

This wild weekend came together with the hardwork and dedication of the Gala Steering Committee, led by Gala Co‑Chairs Michele Aizenberg Ansari & Shervin Ansari and Gale Etherton & Fedja Rochling. Thank you to the committee, volunteers, and BT staff for bringing this adventure to life and for supporting BT in so many wonderful ways.

I am forever grateful for your untamed and unmatched support of our students, faculty, and staff. Every time you raise your paddle or bid in the auction, you are directly impacting Brownell Talbot students and the educators who care so deeply for them. Thank you for your support and generosity!

Sincerely,

Kristi N. Gibbs, Ed.D. Head of School

Honorary Chairs

Every year Brownell Talbot has the opportunity to spotlight the legacy and lasting influence of members of the BT community by naming them Gala Honorary Chairs. Families are recognized as Honorary Chairs for their leadership, commitment, and generosity of spirit. Throughout the last four decades, BT has celebrated 40 different families who have had a tremendous impact on our school community.

The choice for the Gala's 2023 Honorary Chairs was clear: the faculty and staff of Brownell Talbot. They are the beating heart of our school community as they inspire future leaders and change makers while challenging them to be better tomorrow than they are today.

For the past 159 years, exceptional and dedicated faculty and staff have educated and nurtured BT students. Brownell Talbot faculty and staff demonstrate an unparalleled commitment to every student, every mind, and every heart.

Congratulations to the Brownell Talbot faculty and staff!

A Note from the Gala Chairs

We are incredibly honored to serve as Gala Chairs for Wild About BT. This event wouldn’t happen without our amazing Steering Committee. A sincere thank you for the work you’ve done to make this a truly memorable gala year!

Gala 2023 is particularly meaningful for us because we get to celebrate the faculty and staff as Honorary Chairs. We are humbled by their continued dedication, passion, and love for BT and its students. Thank you for nurturing and inspiring the future leaders of our community!

This year’s gala theme is a tribute to everything we love about Brownell Talbot. We are so proud of what’s happening here we are WILD about BT!

Finally, a sincere thank you to all of our gala guests, supporters, sponsors, volunteers, and friends! Through your generosity, Brownell Talbot will have a meaningful and lasting impact on our students for many years to come.

“Untitled” Wall Slab by Jun Kaneko 13

AVAILABLE DURING THE LIVE AUCTION ON FRIDAY, MAY 12

“Untitled” wall slab is a hand‑built and glazed ceramic measuring 11"h x 45.5"w x 3"d.

This wall slab from Jun Kaneko would look stunning hanging in your home!

Includes a collection of artist signed publications and a private tour of Jun Kaneko Studios.

Jun Kaneko was born in 1942 in Nagoya, Japan, and came to the United States in the 1960s. Jun's work is defined by its overwhelming scale and exquisite form, implying a spatial relationship between the object and viewer. Evidence of Kaneko’s early years as a painter exists in the richly glazed surfaces and rhythmic pulse of his marks and patterns. Their sheer size combined with the artist's hunger to push the physical limitations of his material, generate an undeniable presence.

Made possible by Jun and Ree Kaneko

“Untitled” Dango by Jun Kaneko 17

AVAILABLE DURING THE LIVE AUCTION ON FRIDAY, MAY 12

"Untitled" dango is a hand glazed cast raku ceramic measuring 35.5"h x 36.5"w x 14"d.

This white and navy dango from Jun Kaneko holds a unique round shape and would be an incredible addition to your home or office.

Includes a collection of artist signed publications and a private tour of Jun Kaneko Studios.

Jun Kaneko was born in 1942 in Nagoya, Japan, and came to the United States in the 1960s. Jun's work is defined by its overwhelming scale and exquisite form, implying a spatial relationship between the object and viewer. Evidence of Kaneko’s early years as a painter exists in the richly glazed surfaces and rhythmic pulse of his marks and patterns. Their sheer size combined with the artist's hunger to push the physical limitations of his material, generate an undeniable presence.
