We’re excited for Penland trustee Dawn Barrett, who’s been selected as the next president of the Massachusetts College of Art and Design. She’s currently Dean of the Architecture and Design Division at Rhode Island School of Design in Providence, and is active in the National Association of Schools of Art and Design (NASAD) and the American Landscape Association Accreditation Board (LAAB).

Art Daily online has done a lovely profile of Ms. Barrett and article about the selection process.

Congratulations! We expect to see 2-week classes and bacon for breakfast at MassArt in the near future. Among other great things.
