We’re thrilled to welcome Blair to the team as our new Museum Assistant!

Blair comes to us from the Demuth Museum, an art museum in Lancaster dedicated to preserving the works of Charles Demuth. Blair was drawn to the museum world due to their interest in the arts and history. They find it fascinating to see how people from long ago are not fundamentally different from us today.

Blair possesses impressive art skills of their own, having studied illustration at Moore College of Art and Design, Temple University’s Tyler School of Art, and Pennsylvania College of Art & Design in Lancaster.

Outside of work, Blair is a fan of videos games, horror books, and all things spooky. One of their favorite Halloween traditions is to watch a Horror movie marathon, including favorites like “Scream” and “Lost Boys.”

Naturally, Blair is looking forward to participating in Tricks & Treats on October 27th. They are also excited to learn more about the colonial period and what life was like for different social classes and racial groups at the time.

If Blair could go back in time and meet one historical figure, they would choose James Baldwin because how much his philosophy of culture resonates with audiences today.
