“The Visiting Artist Program allows students to draw on their own unique talents as they examine the works and lessons of accomplished artists, and we are fortunate to have these artists working hands-on in the classroom. As we move through the year, the Gallery in Louisa will also showcase the inspired works of CSS students.” - Hans Wolfe, Visiting Artist Coordinator & Middle School and Upper School Art Teacher
