About
Ken Takashi Horii gives a gallery talk on his work in the recent “Transformations” exhibition.
The Jewett Art Gallery is the teaching gallery of the Art Department at Wellesley College. The gallery hosts about seven exhibits annually which are generated by faculty on campus for teaching purposes and for exhibits of student work. The Sculpture Court, located on the third floor of the Jewett Arts Center also provides an additional space for exhibits throughout the year.
The gallery aims to provide students at Wellesley College as well as the public a behind-the-scenes look at the process of running an art gallery. Student exhibitions in the gallery allow students to have a direct, hands-on experience curating, installing, and viewing their works within the context of a professional gallery setting. This is a unique experience for studio art students at the college level which gives insight to bringing their artwork beyond the classroom. Read student blog posts on their experience working in the gallery here. At the same time, this blog also provides a forum for discussion and dialogue related to ideas, art works, and artists in our exhibitions.
