Laura Hunt, Val Glitsch, Emily Owens Lasko, Virginia McAlester and Amy Monier

What do all these talented women have in common? They are all graduates of The Hockaday School, a private, single sex college preparatory mecca from  preschool through twelth grade that has educated some of the city’s most notable, talented and extraordinary women. (My daughter and her friends included.) This evening HAARTS (Hockaday Alumnae in the Arts): Art on a Living Scale: Architecture and Interior Design lauds these women’s accomplishments.  Everyone knows Virginia McAlester and her talented film-writing daughter, Amy Talkington, designer Laura Hunt and my dear friend Amy Monier, developing the area’s first truly green, self-sustaining land trust on her family’s farm, Connemara.  I look forward to meeting Val Blitsch, an architect and artist as well as Emily Owens Lasko, Associate Principal and Studio Director, Good Fulton & Farrell Interiors.
