About Juliette Mittendorf Hill
The Gender and Arts Program began in 2019 thanks to a generous gift from Douglass alumna, Juliette Mittendorf Hill. As an artist and art teacher, she hoped to provide all Douglass women an opportunity to engage and interact with the different arts disciplines, regardless of a student’s major. She felt that knowledge of the arts and creative practices was an important part of a well-rounded liberal arts education. Funding opportunities are available to support student projects thanks to a gift from Juliette Mittendorf Hill.
