Crawford Campus Center Gallery

A space for art, community, and inspiration.
The on-campus Crawford Campus Center Gallery is an integral part of the visual arts curriculum at The Episcopal Academy. Through exhibitions and projects that include curated work of visiting artists, cross-curricular collaborations, and student shows, the Gallery inspires students, educators, artists, and all who visit.

A flexible community space, the Crawford Campus Center Gallery has been home to exhibitions from renowned photographers, ceramicists, painters, textile artists and more. While visiting campus for their artist receptions, these masters of their crafts often visit with student groups to conduct workshops.

The Gallery is also the perfect place to display student artwork, including personal portfolios, recipients of Episcopal Academy's annual Dora Khayatt visual art awards, and school-wide arts initiatives.

Open during the school day (8 a.m. to 4 p.m.) and for special evening receptions, the Crawford Campus Center Gallery provides the EA community a space to explore and appreciate art together.

The Gallery connects students, faculty, and families to the larger world of art. It's an inviting place that challenges us to be our most creative selves.Mr. Sigel
Chair, Visual Arts Dept.

ON DISPLAY:

Au Plein Air

The Crawford Campus Center Gallery is proud to present Au Plein Air, a solo exhibition of works by EA Visual Arts Department Chair David Sigel, Hon.

Painted along the shores of Cape Cod, Mr. Sigel's canvases reveal a deep engagement with place and time. His plein-air practice transforms landscape painting into meditation, an exercise in seeing slowly and allowing the rhythm of tide and light to guide each gesture. These coastal scenes hold both movement and stillness, capturing not just what is visible, but what is felt in the quiet hours of observation.

On display from Oct. 27 to Nov. 25 in the Crawford Campus Center Gallery, Au Plein Air invites viewers to consider how creativity evolves through reflection, discipline, and the continual act of looking—whether across a stretch of sand or across the studio table.

Bringing this body of work into the heart of the school marks a meeting of Mr. Sigel's two worlds: artist and teacher. "I am eager to learn what my students have to say about my work and to continue our conversations," he said.
