Galazzi was 'boat schooled' as a child while she and her family traveled and lived aboard their thirty-one foot trimaran sail boat hand built by her father. She received an MA with Honors from the Rhode Island School of Design were she exhaustively researched the educational effectiveness of community-based art education settings and her findings are published by Harvard University Graduate School of Education, Project Zero Press, 1999.

Special thanks to Burlington Education Foundation for funding this project.

Thanks to a generous grant from the Burlington Education Foundation the Cambridge Street Gallery is exhibiting the work of artist Bren Bataclan. Bren is displaying work from the "Kulap" series that is about his immigration to United States from the Philippines and his personal story.

The Digital Publishing Team consists of a group of students in grades 9-12 working together to create and design artwork for the school, the Burlington community, and beyond. Under the instruction of their teacher Mr. Keith Mistler, the class learns design principles, marketing and business techniques and runs much like a professional design agency.

​The Cambridge Street Gallery exhibit showcases this year's winners for a multitude of design projects including the BHS yearbook, the school musical, the BEF road race, and even a logo for a local company. Students listened to clients' artistic needs, and used their design skills to create the works in this show. ​

The Digital Publishing Team is made up of the following students:
Mitchel Adamson, Rayan Azad, Allie Bonanno, Shannon Borbee, David Centoni, Christopher Dalton, Brady Doherty, Luke Lord, Ravi Patel, Julia Putney, Alec Rollins, Kosta Stamides, Nicholas Storlazzi, Ariella Tucci, and Madison Wareham.

We are fortunate to have Italian teacher Ilaria Hoerle exhibit in our school gallery. Her student senior Nina Nguyen had this to say about her work:

" I knew she was a painter because she has us do art assignments in class, but I didn't know what a talented painter she is. I'm in awe of her work. I really enjoyed the subject of her work, her family, a corner of a room in her house, I now know more about her as a person".
​
Thank you Ilaria for sharing your talents with us!

Students in grades 7 and 8 attended a photography workshop over a two week period this summer at the Memorial Middle School in Burlington, with instructors Laura Phillips (art) and Sue Rogers (BEAM).  

While the camp emphasized the genre of Street Photography, students were also given the opportunity to “shoot” landscapes and portraiture.  The format of the camp allowed students to visit nearby cities--Boston’s Rowe’s Wharf and Copley areas, Pickering Wharf, Salem and Bearskin Neck, Rockport.   These trips provided the venue for students to work on their composition with both street photography and land/seascapes; during one session, students were treated to a surprise visit by Nashville singer/songwriter, Erik DiNardo, who offered to pose for students and encouraged their involvement in the graphic design of album covers and social media sites.  


The gallery will be open for a reception on Thursday, September 17, 2015 from 6:30-8pm
