MFA Visiting Artists Series at WestConn
Pat Lindgren, Artists Rep. will speak Tuesday, March 8 at 11:00 a.m. in Viewing Room 1 in the basement of White Hall on the Midtown Campus. Pat Lindgren is president of Lindgren and Smith inc., a New York agency that represents 50 illustrators. Ms. Lindgren was educated as a fine artist at University of Michigan and Cooper Union. After graduation, she worked as a photographer’s assistant and silkscreen printer. In her printmaking work, she collaborated on limited editions with such artists as Helen Frankenthaler, Robert Motherwell and Claus Oldenburg. She has been representing illustrators for the last 25years. She views the agent/artist relationship as a partnership. "My job is to present the artist's work in the best possible way. I connect artists with new clients, and reconnect with old clients every day. My work can be as simple as writing up the assignment and making sure that the terms are clearly spelled out and agreed on, or as complex as writing and reading contracts that can have very long term effects of the artist's income. In the end though my job is to make sure that both the client and the artist are happy.”

Metropolitan Museum of Art Photo Contest
Looking at art—really looking—can be a powerful thing. But it takes time. And patience. And even a bit of practice. The rewards, however, are well worth the effort. Looking often reveals details not registered by the viewer at first glance, elements that can bring a work of art to life.
We've just launched the third iteration of our "It's Time We Met" promotional campaign. Called "Get Closer," this phase highlights details from works of art throughout the Museum: an exquisite pair of bejeweled hands, a tense pile of sculpted feet, the golden swirl of a French horn's looping center, a horse's tail that looks like a sweeping brushstroke cast in bronze. These are but a few of the images that you will now see on kiosks in front of the Met, on buses and subways platforms around New York, and in online and print ads.
But we also want to hear from you. What's your favorite detail from the Met's collection? What have you seen that perhaps the visitor next to you missed? We're opening a free photography contest, encouraging everyone to share—in photographs and words—the details from the Met's collection that have intrigued or inspired them.
We're accepting submissions through Friday, April 8 (all of the guidelines on how to enter are here). The top five photos and descriptions will be published on the Met's website this spring, and the winners will each receive a free Individual Membership to the Met for a year.
So come visit, get closer, and share with us what you see.

Aline Marie '01
Aline writes from her own blog about March Madness,
"Most of you know I've been teaching and working behind the scenes at Carlsbad Wellness and Yoga. I started there in November as teacher, then started to just organize the teachers and classes, and then I got tossed into the mix of somehow helping to run the studio. Now I have a fancy title "program director" and this really interesting commitment and responsibility to help an entire building of people feel safe, and to make sure people are taken care of. To say it's been a learning experience is an understatement. I've hired some phenomenal teachers, I've had to let some go, I've been blessed with some strong teachers that are grounded, amazing and have perseverance, I've had teachers quit via text message, two out of three owners quit, and somehow we've doubled our student base despite the changes. It's been nuts, I've just been breathing, and taking the fetal position aka childs pose, as often as possible!"

Heidi Fair '93
The Silo Gallery at Hunt Hill Farm in New Milford has a show, featuring works by Christine Cahalane, Eileen Cooper, Ph. D., Heidi Fair, Sylvia Hierro, Annette Marcus, Paula Marian, Kristi Soucie and Kim Tester, opens with a reception Feb. 19 from 3 to 5 p.m. The exhibitions close March 13 with a gallery talk at 2 p.m. with the “New Milford VIII” artists and some of their students sharing insights into their artwork and their inspirations. It will be followed by a question-and-answer period.
From an article in Houstonic Times, "Heidi Fair, who teaches art at John Pettibone School, helps students develop their creativity as painters.
“I teach everything, from how to use scissors to exploring painting and clay—anything they can get their hands on,” Ms. Fair said. “I feel like I have the greatest job in the world, because I get to go to school and play every day. And it’s always awesome to see how creative the kids can be. They don’t have that self-imposed censorship we develop as we get older, so they aren’t afraid to follow their creativity wherever it may lead. It’s refreshing in an age when everything in the media is slick and perfect.”
That lack of censorship, she said, is also inspiring for her own work.
“I draw and paint, but seeing how they follow their hearts in their work is refreshing,” she said. “They are always inspiring.”"
