During the Fall Semester of 2024, Lauren Eliseo became interested in the women we have called our “Founding Mothers.” In many ways, this special group lead the way for the Museum we enjoy today – Jean Brachman, Joan Colgan, Sally Hamburger, Pat Liberman, and Ethel Monfort. As she researched this group, Lauren was drawn to their collecting interests and built her exhibit on that theme.
In the Spring Semester this year, Caroline Norberg began her own research and became interested in the Arden Fair; not only its rich traditons, but also the important place it has in our community. We all enjoy the Fair and it is intersting to see it grow from the early days as a season ending event to its place today as a celebration and home-coming. Caroline’s exhibit will open after May 7th and will be on view through the summer.
It has been a pleasure to work with these students during the past school year – we hope you enjoy their work and their impressions of the Ardens.
