THE VisiTing ArTisT PorTfolio sEriEs

Ravenscroft initiated the Visiting Artist Portfolio Series in 1996 in an effort to promote excellence in the visual arts. Sponsored by the Victor E. Bell, III ’74 Endowment Fund, the Portfolio Series invites visiting professional artists and educators from distinguished colleges, universities, and the professional art world to Ravenscroft each year. Artists are selected based on their expertise in a given media as it relates to our art curriculum. In recent years, the Portfolio Series brought painters, printmakers, architects, sculptors, and photographers from higher education programs at Dartmouth College, Swarthmore College, Tyler School of Art, Auburn University, Denison College, University of Pennsylvania and the University of Illinois Urbana-Champaign.Gallery exhibits and visiting artist workshops enhance our curriculum by exposing our students to working artists’ contemporary ideas and techniques. The Visiting Artist Portfolio Series cultivates aesthetic appreciation for the visual arts.

THE HugH MorTon, Jr. ArT CollECTion

Bob Timberlake established the Hugh Morton, Jr. Art Collection, housed in the Upper and Middle School Library, in 1997 in memory of his good friend and colleague. Each year a committee of students and faculty is formed to visit different art venues and select a piece of art to add to our permanent collection. We value this collection for its ability to enrich our lives. The individual pieces of art are also used as a teaching tool to explain different techniques and styles of art to our students. The collection is a wonderful legacy for future generations.
