Mission
Gallery Mission
The DeCordova Museum School Gallery exists to serve the school community in several ways.
It provides a venue for the public celebration of student product, process, and exploration.
It serves as a meeting place for students and faculty to gather and share ideas between classes.
It celebrates the process of student achievements at all levels regardless of professional goals. It is also geared toward the serious artist looking for a taste of a gallery experience.
