In Fall 2017, Christopher Moore '19 chronicled his semester studying art history in Rome as one of API's student bloggers. Check out his blog below!

In early November 2017, Timothy Furtado '18 presented his paper, "Trans-Atlantic Art Criticism in 1970s Ireland: Essays by Brian O'Doherty/Patrick Ireland," as part of Cynthia Fowler's panel at the annual SECAC conference at Columbus College of Art & Design in Columbus, Ohio.

From January 6 through January 31, 2018, the Degas Gallery in New Orleans exhibited work by Emmanuel Professor of Art Kathy Soles in a solo show titled "Place and Memory." "Ocean currents, navigation routes, intersection of land, sea, and sky, and the mystery of what exists 'below the surface' are all sources for my oil paintings and mixed media works on paper. At the heart of these works are the metaphoric possibilities that result from the contemplation of nature," Soles said in her artist statement.

In February 2018, professor of art Cynthia Fowler gave a gallery talk at Boston’s Institute of Contemporary Art on Nicholas Nixon’s People with AIDS series. Between 1987 and 1991, Nixon photographed 15 individuals with AIDS, including Fowler's brother, Paul. She discussed with visitors how the reception of these provocative images has changed from the 1980s to today.  (Photo © Nicholas Nixon)

Shennah didn't have to go far to find the right internship opportunity--the graphic design minor reported to Emmanuel's on-campus Marketing & Communications department, where she worked on a range of graphic design projects to promote College events and programs. 

On the cusp of her senior year at Emmanuel, studio art major Hannah Lynch '19 was awarded the Emmanuel College Travel Fellowship for Advanced Study, enabling her to travel to at Penland School of Crafts in North Carolina for a two-week workshop focused on textiles.

Louis Meola '15 earned his MFA from Tufts University's School of the Museum of Fine Arts. His thesis project, inspired by the loss of his grandfather, is a series of monumental prints that respond to what his grandfather left behind in his workshop with his passing. Louis received the foundation for his printmaking skills as an undergraduate at Emmanuel under the mentorship of Professor Brian Littlefield, who teaches printmaking courses.

Graphic design alumna Brianna Coleman '16, currently an associate art director at Christopher Kimball's Milk Street, was voted by Peerspace as one of Boston's best food photographers.
"Brianna Coleman's minimalist style brings out the natural beauty of Boston's best ingredients. As an art director and designer, Coleman is able to bring her sharp eye and extensive understanding of style and technology to her work."

When Melissa started at Emmanuel, she chose what she believed to be two separate and distinct majors—studio art and history—to fulfill her both her personal and professional interests.
