Jillian Banks ’20
Class of 2020, Major in Art History and Art (double concentration in Studio Art and Graphic Design), Minor in Arts Management and Chemistry
Taking classes within the Arts Management minor not only complemented my majors in Art and Art History but also assisted me in discovering how to employ my knowledge and skills while working in various cultural institutions throughout New York. In particular, The History of Museums and Collections offered me a new perspective on the historic and contemporary functions of the art world, which ultimately opened my eyes to the endless possibilities for academic and professional growth within the field. In fact, the invaluable information and experiences I took away from the course gave me the confidence necessary to succeed in my role as an Administrative Intern at the Queens Historical Society during my last semester at MMC.
