Art curation is a powerful form of storytelling and it's one Lizard Foley '24 has come to embrace while working in the Martin Art Gallery.

As the lead gallery art assistant for the Martin Art Gallery, Foley has found solace in being surrounding by the artistic expression of peers.

"The space really influences how art is received. It's a lot easier to do that when the gallery itself aids in creating that feeling," says Foley, a studio art major.

Art can enhance any space and Foley has enjoyed being a part of introducing pieces to different corners of campus, including the new Fahy Commons for Public Engagement and Innovation.
