About
For 50 years, the Thorne-Sagendorph Art Gallery at Keene State College has been a gathering place for artists, students, patrons, educators, scholars, and friends. The gallery has hosted excellent exhibitions of work by local, national, and international artists and designers, originated a broad range of innovative education and public programs, and fostered diverse connections across disciplines, communities, and generations.

Student Workers
During the academic year, and sometimes during the summer, the Thorne needs help. We look for students with a love for art, galleries, and motivation to learn about the curatorial process, installation mechanics, archiving and cataloging the galleries’ collections, artwork preservation and working alongside our staff throughout the year to help with the simple day-to-day necessities that allow a gallery to function. Students would be the face that visitors first see, to go to for information and invitation. We would love to have you come work with us, here at the Thorne! Please contact laura.adams@keene.edu if you are interested.
Classrooms in the gallery
Drawing classes are held in the gallery space during the spring semester to help expand students workspace beyond the typical classroom environment.
