Art After Hours:
Friday at 12:15pm
Photography Program, Room B30R
Art After Hours is a casual space to view and discuss art and topics surrounding art beyond the classroom. It is hosted by MFA Graduate Student Bridget Rogers. Open to all undergrad and graduate students in any department.
This week’s theme is miniatures! We will be watching the documentary Marwencol, which is based on the real life story of a soldier who coped with his PTSD after the war by making his own miniature world. Popcorn provided and discussions to follow.
All Tyler undergraduate students are invited to participate in the 2020 Tyler Open. Throughout the month of February (Feb 1-27), each student will be invited to complete a Google Form for one submission per person, including a brief written statement answering the following question:
How does the completed work or inspiring object that you are submitting represent this academic year of learning and growing for you at Tyler? Please describe the process of making as it relates to this piece - whether as a starting point of a process or as a final product of a process.
Then, on February 28 from 10 a.m. - 4 p.m., all Tyler undergraduate students who have completed submissions online via the Google Form will drop off their submissions to our Exhibitions Team in the Green Hallway. For students at Temple Ambler, we will be organizing a pick-up (and return) of work, (TBD).

My name is Victoria Fletcher, and I am writing to be in touch about the Mellon Undergraduate Curatorial Fellowship Program at the Philadelphia Museum of Art—a unique and wonderful opportunity for undergraduate students. We will host another Summer Academy in June 2020.
This one-week immersion program is designed to provide a rich experience in the museum environment and expose the participants to career options related to art and art history, with an emphasis on the curatorial field. Each Summer Academy includes workshops, tours, field trips, and networking events with museum professionals. Among other eligibility requirements, the program is intended specifically for undergraduate students from historically underrepresented groups in the curatorial field and who, if selected as a fellow, can commit to two years in the program prior to graduating. Fifteen students will be selected to participate in the Philadelphia Museum of Art’s 2020 Summer Academy during the week of June 14–21.
I’ve attached here a PDF of our program one-pager, which gives a good overview of the opportunity as well as how to find our website and apply. Please feel free to forward this to any students who may be interested.
Applications are due by Friday, February 28, 2020. Thank you so much for your time, and please be in touch with any questions.
Best regards,
Victoria
