Learning About Art
Andrianna Campbell-Lafleur went to the Rhode Island School of Design (RISD). In 2001, she earned her BFA degree there, which is a special art degree. She studied printmaking, which is a way of making art by printing images. While at RISD, she received a special award called a Carnegie Fellowship from the RISD Museum.
After that, she worked at Forbes as an associate curator. This meant she helped manage a large collection of art from all over the world.
Later, in 2020, she earned her doctorate degree from the Graduate Center, CUNY. This is a very high degree in her field. Her research was about an artist named Norman Lewis and a style of art called Abstract Expressionism.
Her Work in Art
In 2016, Campbell-Lafleur worked with an organization called MoveOn.org. They encouraged artists to create art like graphics, signs, and slogans. This art was made to support events like the 2017 Women's March. Her goal was to "promote positive change" through art.
In October 2017, Campbell-Lafleur and artist Marilyn Minter opened a special shop called Anger Management. It was a pop-up shop, which means it was open for a short time, inside the Brooklyn Museum. This shop was a place for over 70 artists to show their protest art. Protest art is art made to express feelings or ideas about important issues. Campbell-Lafleur said that sharing these kinds of images helps people feel like they are part of a group working together.
