On Nov. 7, 2022, Mount Holyoke studio art students erected a myriad of artworks along the lush perimeter of Upper Lake. The installations were created by students of the Fall 2022 semester “Topics in Studio Art: ‘Expanded Print Media’” course taught by Assistant Professor of Art Studio Amanda Maciuba. During the cultivation process, students worked with the Miller Worley Center for the Environment and the 2022-2023 Common Read “Braiding Sweetgrass” by Robin Wall Kimmerer to create printed installations in response to the Western Massachusetts environment, Maciuba shared.

This semester, the Mount Holyoke Department of Art Studio onboarded Visiting Lecturers in Art Studio Vick Quezada and Xuân Pham and Assistant Professor of Art Studio Marianna Dixon Williams. Bolstered by the soft opening of Media Lab, each of the new faculty members offers a distinctive perspective to the College’s rapidly-evolving interdisciplinary dialogue.
