MHC Art Collective -
M&Cs for Artists & Creatives
Are you interested in connecting with fellow alums and MHC students involved in the arts (visual arts, music, theatre, dancers, writers, filmmakers, actors etc)? The group came together following the European Symposium in Munich in 2024. We're a handful of artists, curators, museum administrators, and creative individuals looking to collaborate, share resources and foster a global artistic Mount Holyoke community. We need the arts in the world more than ever!
We begin our meetings by sharing a little bit about our own artistic practice, discussing challenges and successes, and then continue with strategizing initiatives to connect current Mt. Holyoke students with alums. We’re currently spearheading ideas about collating a database of artist alums, hosting art/creative zoom talks with current MHC students and professional alum artists, and more!
We meet every six weeks or so over Zoom and have alums calling in from the US, Europe and Asia. If you would like to join, have any questions or ideas you would like to share please reach out to Anne-Gabrielle Boucher '13 with you class year, time zone and a little bit about yourself!
We hope you will join us!
This working group is spearheaded by Anne Gabrielle Boucher '13. Anne-Gabrielle is French-American and studied Italian at Mount Holyoke. She spent five years living in London after graduation where she was an active member of the MHC Club of Britain. Anne came back to London in 2024-2025 to do a fine art foundation program at Art Academy. Her artistic practice revolves around exploring natural forms and viewing the body as landscape whilst exploring the emotional sensations of color and mark-making. Anne loves connecting with other alums and hearing people’s stories.
