DeCordova Museum School Gallery

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.

Exhibitions are presented in themes throughout the year. The 2007 themes are Finding Form, Movement, and Viewpoints. All DeCordova students are invited to submit artwork for selection. Students decide how their own artworks relate to each of the themes. Artwork will be juried by art experts outside the DeCordova community. More information is available from the Education Department.
