Toula Papadopolous is at the School Museum of Fine Arts which does not have majors and is a stark contrast to the curriculum at Syracuse and suits Toula quite well.

The Burlington Education Foundation sponsored William Duffy’s Artist Residency last spring. During the three day residency Mr. Duffy taught Art and Social Studies students in the ninth grade. Students learned about the process of creating a public sculpture, made their own sculpture and generated ideas that Mr. Duffy will use to create a future sculpture for the the town. The sculpture will represent aspects of the identity of the community.

The exhibition in the Cambridge Street Gallery includes a bronze sculpture and plaster sculpture from William Duffy as well as ceramic portrait sculptures from art and history students.

Information about the artist residency can be found here http://bhssculptureproject.wordpress.com/

Biography of William Duffy
Nationally recognized artist and alumnus William Duffy created the sculpture in 1973 that now
resides in the main lobby of Burlington High School. 

William Duffy was born in Cambridge, Massachusetts in 1953.  His childhood was spent observing nature in rural Massachusetts which has greatly influenced his outlook and inspired his art.  He graduated from Burlington high school enrolled in a concentrated fine arts program under the tutelage of Elinor Marvin.  He holds a Fine Arts Diploma from the School of the Museum of Fine Arts, Boston, Massachusetts, and a MFA from University of Maryland at College Park in 1983.  Four years of experience in state-of-the-art foundry techniques gained at Johnson Atelier Technical Institute of Sculpture in Princeton, New Jersey, has prepared him to direct and execute all phases of design, fabrication, and installation of his large-scale public art projects.  Currently Bill Duffy maintains a studio in Baltimore, Maryland.

About the Program

Launched in 1987 through an off-hand suggestion of a retired art teacher, Art All-State brings together some of the most talented juniors from across the state for an intensive two-day art experience. The students, competitively selected, collaborate with artist/mentors to create group installations inspired by the Museum's collections. Through gallery and studio experiences AAS challenges and inspires these participants to think creatively about themselves and the role that art can play in life after high school. Eight studio groups are each lead by two professional artists, who help facilitate the students in the creative process. The artists, who come from a variety of different art disciplines, also act as mentors for the student participants.

**Any juniors interested in applying should speak directly to me.
