A RTREACH<br />

<strong>Museum</strong> Announces New <strong>Art</strong>Reach Coordinator<br />

The <strong>Academy</strong> <strong>Art</strong> <strong>Museum</strong> is pleased to announce that Constance<br />

Del Nero has joined the staff as <strong>Art</strong>Reach Coordinator. Del Nero<br />

has been teaching/tutoring art and English for many years and<br />

holds an M.Ed. in <strong>Art</strong> Education from Lesley University. As<br />

coordinator for the <strong>Museum</strong>’s <strong>Art</strong>Reach program, Del Nero schedules<br />

school groups and other community groups that wish to view<br />

a <strong>Museum</strong> exhibition and then works with them on a related art or<br />

language arts project. Many students learn best through hands-on<br />

projects and retain fond memories of field trips that give them the<br />

opportunity to express themselves. The <strong>Museum</strong>’s<br />

<strong>Art</strong>Reach Program is designed to engage students of all ages in<br />

history, science, culture, and art using the exhibitions on display at<br />

the <strong>Museum</strong> as a starting point.<br />

Andre Kertesz captured people in the act of reading...just about anything...just about<br />

anywhere. Local students have been working on a variety of reading-themed projects<br />

at the <strong>Museum</strong>. Over 40 St. Michael's High School students created fancifully-shaped<br />

books at a special workshop in November.<br />

If you are interested in bringing a group to the<br />

<strong>Museum</strong>, please contact Constance Del Nero at<br />
