A Day at the Met

A bus filled with Blair art students motored to the Metropolitan Museum of Art in early November. Rita Baragona, chair of the fine arts department, arranges the autumn art trip each year, taking advantage of Blair’s close proximity to New York City and the first-class museums located there.

Art history students, accompanied by their teacher, Julie Frisbee, also enjoyed the day at the Met. Special exhibits were on display, including “China: Dawn of a Golden Age, 200-750 AD” and the works of Gilbert Stuart – one of the most successful and resourceful portraitists of America’s early national period, best known for his paintings of George Washington.
