Students curate art for the chancellor's home
When Chancellor Javier Reyes and his wife, Maritza Reyes, started at UMass in 2023, the two proposed an idea to the University Museum of Contemporary Art: Turn Hillside, their home, into a gallery space for event hosting.
That idea led to a new program, developed by the museum in collaboration with the W.E.B. Du Bois Library, inviting students to curate an exhibition using the library’s archive and the museum’s permanent collection.
