Posted on October 15, 2019December 15, 2019Final Exhibition The culmination of the term’s work was a group exhibition at the magnificent Palazzo Sergardi. Fortunately it was a dry and sunny day, perfect for transporting large paintings. They quickly got to work hanging the paintings. And were thrilled to be accompanied by master pianist Antonello while they worked. The reception was great fun and well-attended by friends of the community, both American and Italian. Staff and other students in the GEO program were duly impressed. The artists also shared their travel journals and final projects from that class, which included some lovely handmade books. The journal entires were varied and executed in a range of media, including; micro pens, colored pencil, gouache, watercolor and collage. Students had a chance to celebrate and chat with new friends and old. Everyone was proud and happy!

Students were awed and inspired by the magnificent murals that adorn the walls.
