While courses within the Department of Art and Art History were conducted remotely throughout the Fall 2020 semester, faculty and students took advantage of public art spaces and exhibits around New York City as creative influences for their projects.

Margaret Roleke ’84, an activist, artist, and graduate of MMC’s Studio Art program, is exhibiting original pieces in multiple shows throughout the fall of 2020.
