Arts Administration Student Joins New Hampshire Arts Board
Greg Hankinson, a Metropolitan College MS in Arts Administration student, has been named to the New Hampshire Art Association (NHAA) board.
The appointment comes after Hankinson completed an internship with the NHAA, a nonprofit art association that since 1940 has been dedicated to the advocacy of emerging and established regional artists.
Hankinson worked under Amanda Kidd-Schall, the organization’s executive director, during his time in the role. He also came to know several of its board members, including President Kevin Dadoly.
A trained studio painter, Hankinson has also served as a board member with the Portsmouth, NH-based 3S Artspace. He is passionate about supporting artists to share their work and ideas and believes that critical and social commentary works of art provide the world with meaning and inspiration. His BU MET studies explore the interactions between the abstract expressionist movement and female artists of the period and how their work remains relevant today.
Beyond this latest achievement, Hankinson’s post-graduating aims are to continue working in the creative nonprofit sector to advocate for visual arts education for academic or cultural institutions.
Join the BU MET community in congratulating Mr. Hankinson for this honor, which so fittingly reflects his commitment to inclusive curation and exhibition development; social justice; critical, aesthetic, and educational theory; visual thinking strategies; arts integration; socially engaged art; and technical writing.
