Alex McCarty Awarded Thomas Cole Fellowship

This June, I will be one of four fellows moving to the Thomas Cole National Historic Site (TCNHS) in Catskill, New York to participate in the yearlong Thomas Cole Fellowship. While at TCNHS, I will have the opportunity to lead tours of the site, work with the curatorial team in developing an original exhibition, and complete a major (yet-to-be-determined) research project. I am grateful to Santa Clara’s Department of Art & Art History for both the incomparable education and continued support I have benefitted from. References, letters of recommendation, and guidance from the department has been instrumental in taking me from the Palo Alto Art Center and the San José Museum of Art to the Guggenheim and now TCNHS. As I continue to pursue a career in art history, I know that I can count on the Department of Art & Art History for support.
