My name is Abby Solon and I am a junior here at Miami University. Right now, I am enjoying an Arts Marketing and Communications internship at the Miami University Art Museum (MUAM), and continuing my studies of Anthropology, Arts Management, and Entrepreneurship. In my free time, I love painting, reading, listening to music, and being with my friends.<br><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Since I was little, I have always wanted to work in an art museum, and I am very thankful to have the chance to work here at one on campus, and learn as much as I can about the field. In the future, I hope to further my career at an art museum in a big city! The exhibitions I am focusing on here are <em>Life Cycles: Death<\/em> and <em>Illuminating the Past: Utilitarian Ceramics of the Ancient World.<\/em> My role is to help market these exhibitions out to students who may or may not be in art, and encourage them to see all the museum has to offer. Since I am also an anthropology major, I offer a new perspective on the study of art, from a humanistic and archaeological point of view, and I hope to learn more about how the two studies can intertwine.<br><\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"214\" height=\"300\" src=\"https:\/\/sites.miamioh.edu\/art-museum\/files\/2019\/09\/8A10A36A-228A-4771-9FC5-56365D0A753A-214x300.jpg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-1878\" srcset=\"https:\/\/sites.miamioh.edu\/art-museum\/files\/2019\/09\/8A10A36A-228A-4771-9FC5-56365D0A753A-214x300.jpg 214w, https:\/\/sites.miamioh.edu\/art-museum\/files\/2019\/09\/8A10A36A-228A-4771-9FC5-56365D0A753A-768x1076.jpg 768w, https:\/\/sites.miamioh.edu\/art-museum\/files\/2019\/09\/8A10A36A-228A-4771-9FC5-56365D0A753A-731x1024.jpg 731w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 214px) 100vw, 214px\" \/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Both exhibitions will be open now until December 14, come and check them out!
