Pitzer College Art Galleries Fellows
The Student Fellows of Pitzer College Art Galleries are passionately committed to diversity, equity, and inclusion. Galleries Fellows work collectively to develop student-centered programming that engages the Pitzer community through creative action around racial justice, gender equality, and socioeconomic equity. Using curatorial practice as a tool, the Fellows’ interdisciplinary projects integrate the Galleries’ exhibitions into the co-curricular life of Pitzer—a critical aspect of informal learning within the liberal arts.
