Organized by Dan Jay and Mary Y. Lee, Beyond Expectations showcases works of art from community members regardless of professional training, and tells the stories of how they have worked beyond the expectations of their family or society to fulfill their personal passion for art.

About the Curators:
Co-curators Mary Y Lee and Dan Jay fulfilled family expectations by attaining success in academic medicine as the children of Asian immigrants. However, both have artistic souls and pursued art within the limits of their academic paths. Mary waited until stepping down from her Associate Provost and Dean positions at Tufts before committing consistent time as an artist. Dan, who is currently Dean of the Sackler School for Graduate Biomedical Sciences at Tufts, had parallel careers in art and science with science dominating his life up until the last five years.
