Amherst Portraits - Building Community Through Learning
Amherst College Collaborative Project
Fall 2007
Amherst Massachusetts 

	A multi-faceted process of building community that included the collaborative development of 18 large-scale public works made by students, faculty and staff from Amherst College, integrating the creative processes of Wendy Ewald and Brett Cook. Participants explored building community through a number of contemplative, educational, and creative exercises that focused on learning. The project was anchored in Wendy Ewald’s fall semester class Collaborative Art: Theory and Practice of Working with a Community.  Both the campus community collaboration project and the Practice of Collaborative Art Class culminated with large-scale public works mounted across the Amherst College Community and an exhibition at the Mead Art Museum. The exhibition included a catalogue highlighting the complete semester long experience.
