LATE Night At The Museum
(CCS BARD Hessel Museum of Art )
LATE Night At The Museum was such a blast for students and chaperone’s alike! The night kicked off with an engaged discussion in one of the galleries, with student curator, Zuhra Amini, and fiber artist, Hangama Amiri, whose pieces were included in Zuhra‘s curation. The students felt comfortable sharing their thoughts and opinions, and respectfully listened to our fabulous speakers, and explored the art with interest.
After a quick sustenance break of pizza and popcorn, we got to head back and explore the rest of the galleries with CC board-member host, Ben Pinder, sharing thoughtful insight regarding methods, materials, interpretations and more. There is something truly thrilling about getting to be somewhere you usually don’t get to be, and the students definitely felt the excitement.
As the beautiful sunset took over the sky, the students spent the rest of the evening taking what they had absorbed over the course of the night, and channeling it towards creating their own fiber artworks.
