Art is for everyone. And everyone is real.
(Kudos to the Clark for understanding that)

As a docent at another New England museum, I was appalled to read Qcross’s comment. It appears as if qcross doesn’t understand what this is all about. It’s not an exhibit of an 11 year old but even if it were, is this the response of a responsible, mature adult?. As docents, we put an enormous effort into encouraging art appreciation among young people. My experience with children as young as 7 years old is that they often observe things in paintings that adults overlook; they respond to art in a way that sometimes amazes us and thrills us. Their excitement at discovering a particular artist or their appreciation of the art of painting and sculpture is contagious to all of us. I would think that the Clark would be thrilled to share with the rest of us what anyone loved or appreciated in the works of art at the Clark–even an eleven year old! Rather than criticize a young person (or anyone for that matter) for showing his/her love and appreciation for the works of art at the Clark, Qcross should encourage, if not applaud, this young person for her project.

Hey, q cross. Everyone is forever bemoaning the lack of artistic engagement of today’s young. In response, a great museum directly engages young people to think seriously about artistic works and their presentation and then celebrates that engagement. It further reaches out to more young people to come and see how seriously (and also playfully, the two are not exclusive) “one of their own” thinkas about art and encourages them to the same. And you want another exhibit from another MFA? “To everything there is a season”.

What a misguided comment by Q Cross. The Clark has great works, and call it what you may, what a great opportunity to bring those works to a whole new generation of young people and future benefactors!

Congratulations Giselle. I really look forward to viewing your exhibition and am so proud to be a member of a museum that encourages all of its patrons to expand and share their interest in the arts.

You Have to be kidding!!!

Francine and Sterling must be rolling over in their graves. Marketing is just that….. slick marketing. For one of the best museumsin the Country, I have a no vote of confidence. Real work will bring in the real crowds. And not at the behest of an 11 year old.
