Student Exhibitions
ART SCHOOL ARCADE
The MAM Yard School of Art is pleased to be able to offer our students the opportunity to show their artwork in a professional gallery space. Our shows highlight the diverse range of media and techniques practiced by our students and faculty at the Yard School. The shows, which rotate approximately every six weeks, allow our students to experience the process of preparing a work for exhibition, and are also an excellent way to showcase their talent, as well as the abilities of our seasoned instructors. Additionally, our shows provide prospective students the chance to check out a variety of the Yard School’s class offerings, and the types of artwork that are produced. Receptions for these shows are open to the public.
The Art School Arcade is located on the 1st floor of the Museum. Click here to view a map of gallery locations.

CHILDREN’S ARCADE GALLERY
Exhibitions in the Children’s Arcade highlight the work of our school programs and educational partnerships. Many of the exhibitions are the culmination of multiple visits to the Museum for tours and hands-on art-making experiences and complement the MAM’s permanent collection and special exhibitions. The student exhibitions and opening receptions provide a professional and festive culmination to the student’s museum experience.

Youth Selects 2008 - Rachel Cherry, Alyson Fraser, Ze’ev Horowitz, Julie Reiter
October 18 – November 30, 2008
This season’s teenage Youth Selects Curators worked collaboratively to organize exhibitions using reproduced images from the Museum’s collection. The process mirrored that of a professional curator while allowing a unique perspective within the Museum. Students met with Museum staff to learn how exhibitions are organized, studied collections, identified themes, selected artwork, wrote descriptive text, and designed the exhibition. The program is coordinated by MAM educator and former Whitney Museum Curator Cindy Furlong.
