Why the Arts?

The Lovett School has a great and longstanding tradition in the arts, which hold a central place in our educational mission and in the life of our community. In fact, as far back as the 1930s, Eva Edwards Lovett repeatedly mentioned the arts in her New Deal for Education as critical components of “a changing education for a changing civilization.” Creating art and appreciating art are central to the development of the ability to analyze and problem solve, and to developing the capacity for compassion, risk-taking, and perseverance, to name a few.

Under the able leadership of our Director of Fine Arts, Jay Freer ’78, the arts are alive and thriving at Lovett. Our first-class faculty—all working artists themselves— and our devoted Friends of the Arts parent organization give our students enormous support and encouragement, enabling them to accomplish great things in the arts and in their lives.

Thank you not only for attending performances this school year, but also for your generosity and support of our arts program. The soul and spirit of Lovett are deeper and richer because of the arts!

Meredyth M. Cole, Head of School
