Students from Springfield, Holyoke, Worcester, Brockton, and New Bedford Clemente sites explored an array of galleries and exhibits featuring a diverse range of artists and media, from paintings by Monet to classical sculptures from antiquity. Art history professors from each city led their groups through the gallery spaces, offering insights and inviting questions along the way.
