John Crowe's New Bow Tie!

The launch of Toai Thach’s bow tie business took place November 2, 2009 in the Art Education Office, where John Crowe was fitted for his new plaid bow tie by Toai himself.   Deborah was amazed and astonished at the scene unfolding in front of her eyes and managed to get hold of a camera in time to record the events.

The fitting begins.  John is Toai’s first customer, and he chooses the plaid tie.

A Message from the Chair

Dear Art Education Students,

Welcome back to MassArt. I am looking forward to another great year working, making and teaching with you. As we start the new academic year, I am excited to announce the addition of Dr. Adriana Katzew to our faculty. Dr. Katzew comes to us most recently from the University of Vermont. She completed her doctorate at Harvard and also has a law degree. Adriana brings expertise in many areas including issues of social justice and community arts. Please join me in welcoming her to the department. Also, John Giordano returns from sabbatical. Ask him how his doctoral studies are going. I know he is thrilled to return to MassArt to work with our students. All of the faculty and administrative staff eagerly anticipate another year filled with new discoveries, challenges, opportunities and learning.

Dan Serig, Ed.D.
