The Arnheim Gallery becomes the Mary McFadden Project Room

In conjunction with the Mary McFadden: Goddesses exhibition in the Bakalar Gallery, the Gallery Education staff invites MassArt students, faculty, and staff and members of the community to the Arnheim Gallery to explore the traditional and contemporary handwork skills that characterize Mary McFadden’s designs.  Led by Mass Art students from Fashion, Fibers, Metals, Art Education, and other majors, handwork demonstrations offer free intensive instruction in techniques from lacemaking and beading to fashion illustration.  Learn a new skill and get a new perspective on Mary McFadden’s unique vision in this interactive exhibition and project space.

Ecuador 2009 – Photos by Dan Serig

Dan Serig and eight MSAE students returned July 16th from a fabulous two-week trip to Ecuador. They visited the coastal city of Guayaquil, spent five days staying at an EcoLodge right on the beach, journeyed into the Andes, met artists, taught kids, saw exotic birds and animals… all in all, it was a fantastic way to earn three credits!
