“The ‘Hope and Healing’ exhibit represents an extraordinary
instance of collaboration among three institutions: the College of the
Holy Cross, Clark University and the Worcester Art Museum. The relationship
between Holy Cross and the Worcester Art Museum, in particular, has been
developing over a number of years. The College has worked with the museum
to catalog its remarkable library collection and reestablish an active
acquisition program. The ‘Bridges to Art’ program represented
another instance of collaboration and provided unprecedented electronic
access to the museum's collections and targeted use by the Worcester
Public Schools. The exhibit has allowed the College to enhance its program
and realize its own institutional mission. For example, the First-Year
Program has adopted the theme of ‘hope and healing’ for this
year's program. At the same time, we are committed to sharing
the exhibit with a broader audience. The College will host the meetings
of both the New England Renaissance Society and the International Word
and Image Conference (a collaboration between Holy Cross and the University
of Paris). We are confident that the exhibit will spur important conversations
among scholars.”
Stephen C. Ainlay, vice president for academic affairs and dean of the
College
