Art School Highlights

We received a donation which, in conjunction with a donation received from the museum, allowed us to create a new education position serving both areas of the Danforth.

We also received a donation from another donor to allow for the expansion of the Studio Assistantship Program. We modified this teen leadership program to incorporate year-round opportunities to support public programming at the museum and to provide a modest stipend for the assistants.

We received an endowed scholarship from Nan Hass Feldman, which allowed us to disperse financial aid equivalent to the full cost of a class to three recipients during the year.

We held an Adult Student Exhibition with a closing reception in March that was well-attended and resulted in art sales for some students.

We held several Faculty Spotlight exhibitions in the Art School along with an artist talk from Nan Hass Feldman.

We collaborated with FSU Departments including the Centers for Early Childhood Education, Continuing Education, and the Whittemore Library, to provide programming in conjunction with their efforts. We also collaborated with the Framingham History Center, Framingham Public Library and the Garden in the Woods, along with the Early Childhood Alliance of Framingham.
