Happy September! It is with great joy that we welcome back all four classes of Bowdoin students and wish everyone a happy and productive fall! This month, on September 16th, the Museum opens a stunning new exhibition, There is a Woman in Every Color: Black Women in Art, curated by Elizabeth Humphrey ’14; it will be on view until January 30, 2022. This exhibition complements exciting programs in place for Bowdoin’s celebration of the fiftieth anniversary of the matriculation of women to the College in 1971. We also inaugurate new hours this month, adding evening hours on Thursday nights. As of September 1st, our new hours will be Wednesday, Friday, and Saturday, 11 am–5 pm, and Thursday, 11 am–8:30 pm. Please also note that in order to protect the health and safety of the Bowdoin and Brunswick communities, Bowdoin is now requiring all guests visiting the Bowdoin College Museum of Art to provide proof of full vaccination status: For more information please click here. We look forward to a combination of live and virtual programming this semester and look forward to seeing you soon!
