2020 Barth Award Recipient, Emma Hardy (MCAS '20)

This year’s J. Robert Barth, S.J., Award for Excellence in the Arts, given annually to a senior who has made an outstanding contribution to Boston College in the fine or performing arts, has been presented to Emma Hardy. Emma has been actively involved in the Arts Council, and has excelled in all of her Studio Art courses, earning her Honors in Studio Art. First and foremost, she credits her art professors (Jane Cassidy, Sheila Gallagher, Candice Ivy, Karl Baden, Stoney Conley and Mark Cooper) as her role models: “They are all amazing artists and I feel so lucky to have sat in their classrooms.”
