Art show features Harvard Chan School staff

"Simple Pleasures: Still Life with Blue Pitcher" by Lorna Perkins

March 20, 2023 – Oil paintings of fruit arranged on a table. Colorful photography of boats in New England. A video of animated illustrations, set to the sound of a poem being read.

All of these artworks and more have been brought together as part of the Harvard Staff Art Show, a series of online and in-person exhibits at various locations across campuses, including Countway Library. Now in its fourth year, the show celebrates the creativity of University staff, showcasing their artistic work—spanning a multitude of subjects and media—that may not otherwise be a part of their jobs.

The Countway Library exhibit, featuring works by members of the Longwood Medical Area community, will run from March 27 to May 31. The library will host an opening reception on March 28 from 5:30–7 pm featuring music and refreshments, and an opportunity to hear some of the artists share thoughts about their work.
