CONNECT camp with The Trout Gallery at Bosler Library

Inspired by Perspectives, a community-curated exhibition at The Trout Gallery, student from CALC’s CONNECT program selected objects from the Museum’s vaults to explore. They spent time with their objects, wrote about thoughts and reactions to them, and creatively staged photo shoots. As a culminating activity, they audio-recorded their reflections, which you can listen to HERE. CONNECT is a community-engaged creative summer program that helps teens build confidence and appreciation for collaboration.

Perspectives (June 2-October 16, 2023) celebrated the 40th anniversary of The Trout Gallery with works of art from the permanent collection selected by Gallery audiences. In place of traditional object labels, Dickinson College students, staff, and alumni, as well as community members of all ages shared their personal interpretations of objects through written statements placed on the Gallery walls.
