As April arrives, we hope this issue of the E-Bulletin finds you in good health and good spirits. What a different world we now occupy than just a month ago! In coordination with the College, which has now transitioned to remote learning, and in deference to common good, the BCMA has closed its galleries until further notice.

Our attention turns now to sharing the power of art through alternative means, including our website, publications, and social media. In the weeks ahead, the BCMA is committed to supporting the development of new resources and new strategies for sharing our collections and exhibitions with the campus community and the world far beyond.

As we jointly navigate the challenging waters ahead, may you find opportunities for rewarding journeys of the imagination, time for creative inspiration, and a chance to reengage with the promise of art.

With every good wish for you and yours until we see you again at the Museum!
