MA Student, History of Art & Architecture
Allison Smith is from Croton-on-Hudson, NY and recently graduated from Union College. She enjoys studying how the public interacts with art and history through museums, monuments, and architecture. Last year she presented a paper titled “A Brief History of Museum Architecture: A Case Study of the Clark Art Institute” at the MAPACA Conference and completed her senior thesis on Auguste Rodin. She is an animal lover and likes to bake and try new restaurants. She also enjoys comedy, whether by reading David Sedaris, watching Parks and Recreation, or attending live performances. She is looking forward to getting to know the department!
