noopener\" target=\"_blank\">Center for Integrated Humanities<\/a>&nbsp;at Chestnut Hill College took over the underutilized art studio in St. Joseph Hall four years ago, they envisioned a quiet place for students to study away from the raucous McCaffery Longue. Now, the art studio has been vandalized and will be closed until at least the fall semester.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p id=\"3ce4\">In the summer of 2021, center Chair Suzanne del Gizzo, adjunct professor of fine arts Danielle Rossi, and a few other faculty organized and cleaned the entire studio. They transformed the messy and worn space into a bright and vibrant room.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p id=\"02c4\">Faculty bought new furniture and lighting as well as basic art supplies for students who wanted to just sketch and relax. There was a coffee maker ready to go free of charge. The space was going to be a peaceful place for students in the college.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p id=\"4475\">When students returned after the pandemic the former art studio received a lot of productive use. The student art club and campus ministry used the space for various events. There was a series called the \u201cChromatic Caf\u00e9,\u201d in which supervised students enjoyed coffee and cookies.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p id=\"43a9\">This transformed and rediscovered place had only one flaw: the door to the studio must remain unlocked at all times because of a city fire code requirement. Students discovered this about a year and half after the dramatic change of the art studio. Some students began sneaking into the studio at night and leaving the space a mess.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p id=\"5ec3\">\u201cWe would come in and find supplies left open on the table, brushes dried, or paint dumped into the sink,\u201d del Gizzo said.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p id=\"eea3\">The solution was to post signs with a timeframe that asked students to treat the space respectfully. This did not last as most of the posters were ripped down.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p id=\"0134\">Recently, a group of students discovered the spray paint left in the room. They spray painted inside, destroying the tables in the art studio.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p id=\"b480\">\u201cThis was really upsetting to us because it was so contrary to the vision we had for the space,\u201d del Gizzo said.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p id=\"8c12\">There is a plan in place to repair the art studio, but it will take a couple of months.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p id=\"4929\">\u201cThis is probably very few people making a really negative impact,\u201d del Gizzo said. \u201cWe are determined to recover the space as a place for students to use.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/medium.com\/@the.griffin.chc?source=post_page-----d69ef65b4be6--------------------------------\"><\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>By Joe Shuron When the&nbsp;Center for Integrated Humanities&nbsp;at Chestnut Hill College took over the underutilized art studio in St. Joseph Hall four years ago, they envisioned a quiet place for students to study away from&#8230;<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":582,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"_kad_blocks_custom_css":"","_kad_blocks_head_custom_js":"","_kad_blocks_body_custom_js":"","_kad_blocks_footer_custom_js":"","_kad_post_transparent":"","_kad_post_title":"","_kad_post_layout":"","_kad_post_sidebar_id":"","_kad_post_content_style":"","_kad_post_vertical_padding":"","_kad_post_feature":"","_kad_post_feature_position":"","_kad_post_header":false,"_kad_post_footer":false,"footnotes":""},"categories":[16],"tags":[9],"class_list":["post-141","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-news","tag-news"],"taxonomy_info":{"category":[{"value":16,"label":"News"}],"post_tag":[{"value":9,"label":"News"}]},"featured_image_src_large":["https:\/\/thechcgriffin.news\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/04\/OIP-15.jpeg",340,234,false],"author_info":{"display_name":"The Griffin","author_link":"https:\/\/thechcgriffin.news\/?author=1"},"comment_info":0,"category_info":[{"term_id":16,"name":"News","slug":"news","term_group":0,"term_taxonomy_id":16,"taxonomy":"category","description":"The News section.","parent":0,"count":29,"filter":"raw","cat_ID":16,"category_count":29,"category_description":"The News section.","cat_name":"News","category_nicename":"news","category_parent":0}],"tag_info":[{"term_id":9,"name":"News","slug":"news","term_group":0,"term_taxonomy_id":9,"taxonomy":"post_tag","description":"Linked to the news catergory.","parent":0,"count":36,"filter":"raw"}],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/thechcgriffin.news\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts\/141"}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/thechcgriffin.news\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/thechcgriffin.news\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/thechcgriffin.news\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/users\/1"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/thechcgriffin.news\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fcomments&post=141"}],"version-history":[{"count":1,"href":"https:\/\/thechcgriffin.news\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts\/141\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":143,"href":"https:\/\/thechcgriffin.news\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts\/141\/revisions\/143"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/thechcgriffin.news\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/media\/582"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/thechcgriffin.news\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fmedia&parent=141"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/thechcgriffin.news\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fcategories&post=141"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/thechcgriffin.news\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Ftags&post=141"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
