Alan Brooks ’55, P’89, ’91, ’96, director of the 125th anniversary celebration, organized the show with the assistance of Jenny Philip P’06, ’09 and Leigh Hovey P’09, ’11, ’14. “It was a great pleasure to work with our alumni artists and to show off their enormous talent, which ranged over many styles and materials,” said Alan. “I am excited to imagine what possibilities exist for other exhibits.” The show was open to the public throughout May and was a special stop for those visiting campus for reunion and commencement. Because of its success, the school has converted the space into the Baxter Gallery, where future alumni art exhibits are planned.
