Students Visit Josh Simpson '72 Studio to Prepare for Emerson Exhibit
May 21, 2009
Hamilton students Katerina Adair '10, Katie Anderson '11, and Kenley Stark '11 visited glass artist Josh Simpson '72 at his studio in Shelburne Falls, Ma., this week. The students are working with Susanna White, the Emerson Gallery's associate director and curator, to organize an exhibition of Simpson's work.
Students had the opportunity to meet Simpson and observe his glassmaking process, and select works for the exhibition. The exhibition will focus on Simpson's deep interest in astronomy and how it inspires him as an artist and will include a catalog prepared by the curatorial team. The exhibit of Simpson's work will open at the gallery in January 2010. A gift from The Dietrich Foundation made the trip possible.
