July 26, 1971: An exhibit of outstanding art works by members of the alumni and faculty of The Brooklyn Museum Art School will open in the Museum’s Blum Galleries on Wednesday, August 4th, and remain on view through September 30. Encompassing the work of five full-time instructors and some of their most promising students of the past three years, The Brooklyn Museum Art School will offer paintings, drawings, sculpture and ceramics. Examples of work done by the High School Scholarship program will also be on display.

The first room in the galleries will present examples of the work done in the art school’s various classes, offering, in effect, a three-dimensional catalog of the school. The other galleries will feature the work of the full-time instr[uc]tors and their students. Participating instr[uc]tors are Toshio Odate (sculpture); Reuben Tam (advanced painting and drawing), Jolyon Hofsted (ceramics), and Kendall Shaw and Allen Barber (foundation course in painting and drawing).

The Brooklyn Museum Art School, which moved to the Museum 25 years ago, calls itself a “community of working artists” because of its free-wheeling unstructured setup. There are no formal entrance requirements and classes for full time and part time students include painting and drawing, acrylics and watercolor, sculpture, ceramics, plastics and welding. New to the Art School curriculum are weaving, photo silk screen and batik.

"Hi Aimee, I think you mean Oreet Ashery? More information can be found in her profile on the Feminist Art Base: http://www.brooklynmuseum.org/eascfa/feminist_art_base/gallery/oreet_ashery.php?i=266"

"Hi, I am trying to find the name of the artist who took and is in the photograph that follows- http://www.brooklynmuseum.org/opencollection/exhibitions/664/Global_Feminisms_Remix/image/216/Global_Feminisms_Remix._%7C08032007_-_03032008%7C._Installation_view. I believe the artist takes pictures of herself dressed as a man but then exposes her femaleness, as in the photo of her dressed as an Ascetic Jew exposing her breast. Can you help me find her information? Thanks in advance- Aimee Record"

Brooklyn Museum Art School

The Brooklyn Museum Art School opened at the Brooklyn Museum in 1941 and was transferred to the Pratt Institute's Continuing Education Division in 1985. While not a degree-granting institution, its chief purpose was the training of professional artists, although it also offered classes for amateurs. The Art School organized regular group and one-person exhibitions, which were held in the school's gallery and classrooms in the Museum's west wing.

The Brooklyn Museum Archives maintains a collection of historical press releases. Many of these have been scanned and made available on our Web site. The releases range from brief announcements to extensive articles; images of the original releases have been included for your reference. Please note that all the original typographical elements, including occasional errors, have been retained. Releases may also contain errors as a result of the scanning process. We welcome your feedback about corrections.

For select exhibitions, we have made available some or all of the informative text panels written by the curator or organizer. Called "didactics," these panels are presented to the public during the exhibition's run, and we reproduce them here for your reference and archival interest. Please note that any illustrations on the original didactics have not been retained, and that the text may contain errors as a result of the scanning process. We welcome your feedback about corrections.

For select exhibitions, we have made available some or all of the objects from the Brooklyn Museum collection that were in the installation. These objects are listed here for your reference and archival interest, but the list may be incomplete and does not contain objects owned by other institutions or lenders.
