With a hearty welcome to members of the Class of 2027 and a warm welcome back to all members of the Bowdoin community—including alumni and friends beyond campus—we look forward to an exciting Fall season ahead. We invite you to enjoy upcoming gallery talks, lectures, and concerts celebrating our current shows. And we hope you will enjoy the reflections included in this issue on a productive and enjoyable summer, new additions to the collection, and a multi-decade engagement with the artist and poet Mina Loy, the subject of the Museum’s groundbreaking exhibition, Mina Loy: Strangeness Is Inevitable, on view until September 17th.

We look forward to seeing you at the Museum of Art!
