The Pulitzer: Student Art

Last week, we were paid a visit from students from Shaw Elementary School who are involved in an ongoing program with the Pulitzer.  Tim, our Visitor Services Manager who's heading up this program, met with the students in the galleries and discussed the subject of portraiture. 

The students also created some art work of their own.  When our Minimalism and Beyond exhibition ended, we had quite a few leftover pieces of paper from the Felix Gonzales-Torrez work, Untitled (Somewhere better than this place, Nowhere better than this place).  Steve G., our Facilities Manager, took the leftover paper over to Shaw for the students to use for art projects.  As a thank you, they sent Steve a package filled with art they made.  He hung these on a wall in our receiving area, and they really brighten up the room.  Take a look:


There will be more in the upcoming weeks from Shaw --some of the teachers have been working on blog posts which will be featured in a section of our website. 

In other news, the blog will be taking a hiatus starting Thursday for the Thanksgiving holiday.  We'll be back in action on Monday, November 27th.  See you then!  (Rachel)
