Kernan is co-author with with Laura Einstein and Janice Oresman of 'Singular and Serial: Contemporary Monotype and Monoprint,' published in 2019.
VENUE:
The Slater Memorial Museum presents several permanent or long-term exhibitions in spaces on two levels, accessible via elevator or stairs. These include the museum's inaugural exhibition of plaster cast copies of the great ancient Greek, Roman, Middle Eastern and Renaissance sculpture. The Slater Memorial Museum also regularly presents and hosts up to six temporary exhibitions annually in its large, airy Converse Art Gallery.
Founded in In1884, by William Albert Slater to memorialize his father, wealthy industrialist, John Fox Slater, The Slater Memorial Museum was designed by noted architect, Stephen C Earle and built at Norwich Free Academy. . By1888, Norwich Free Academy Principal, Robert Porter Keep, convinced the museum to acquire 227plaster casts of classical and renaissance sculpture. A hundred thirty years later, the Slater cast collection, one of the three largest in the country, is considered by many to be the best of its kind. As one of two fine arts museums in the United States on the campus of a secondary school, the museum’s role for the furtherance of teaching the humanities is as strong a commitment today as it was when the extensive cast collection was officially dedicated in November of 1888.
