Souhad Rafey, who has acted as curator at the American Academy of Arts and Letters for 23 years, is retiring at the end of 2021. Her farewell exhibition How do I Measure my Gratitude? will feature the work of 46 accomplished artists who have supported and collaborated with Souhad during her career — many of whom encountered her in their day jobs as art handlers, museum guards, fine art truckers, and museum colleagues. This exhibition is an opportunity to honor these individuals by showcasing their work.
Lyrics from “Seasons of Love” inspired the title of the exhibition. This song is from the musical Rent, which received a Richard Rodgers Studio Production Award from the Academy in 1994.
