We just finished updating our website with galleries from the autumn 2020 session of FieldWorks, our 12-week gap year program for students interested in visual art. Looking through the images and artworks has given us some time to reflect on a most unusual year. Like many, we were forced to adapt to a new set […]

We are now two-thirds of the way through our autumn gap year program FieldWorks. This past week our students have enjoyed some well earned time off.
