Benjamin Menschel Fellowship Exhibition Catalogs

The Benjamin Menschel Fellowship program culminates in an annual exhibition and gala opening. Each year, the students contribute to a catalog that accompanies the show and becomes a record of the projects displayed. Below are the catalogs from exhibitions since 1999, which provide a sense of the diversity of projects and ideas that the Menschel Fellowship has supported over the years.

  • Founded by inventor, industrialist and philanthropist Peter Cooper in 1859, The Cooper Union for the Advancement of Science and Art offers education in art, architecture and engineering, as well as courses in the humanities and social sciences.

  • “My feelings, my desires, my hopes, embrace humanity throughout the world,” Peter Cooper proclaimed in a speech in 1853. He looked forward to a time when, “knowledge shall cover the earth as waters cover the great deep.”

  • From its beginnings, Cooper Union was a unique institution, dedicated to founder Peter Cooper's proposition that education is the key not only to personal prosperity but to civic virtue and harmony.

  • Peter Cooper wanted his graduates to acquire the technical mastery and entrepreneurial skills, enrich their intellects and spark their creativity, and develop a sense of social justice that would translate into action.
