As part of larger efforts to reimagine Amherst’s art museum, Mead director David E. Little has launched Hall Walls, an annual project that gives artists and students the freedom to create an ephemeral mural on the walls of the museum.
The first artist to participate is Rico Gatson. Beginning this month and working through the spring semester, Gatson and Amherst students Tacia Diaz ’19, Chloe Tausk ’19E, Chelsea Pan ’18, Emma Hartman ’17 and Jay Fields ’17 will create a mural on the walls of a hallway inside the Mead. Join the Mead mailing list to learn about in-progress mural viewings and the mural’s unveiling in spring 2017.
