April e-bulletin

The BCMA always enjoys hosting programs with special guests. In April, we are excited to welcome a host of artists, scholars, and performers. Celebrated artists LJ Roberts (April 17) and Rubie Rumié (April 30) visit this month, as well as noted scholars Sarah Cantor (April 11) and Andrea Achi (April 29). In addition, please join us on April 19, when Bowdoin band Night Hawk and dancers Dylan Richmond '24 and Juliana Vandermark '24 perform in the BCMA’s Rotunda. To learn more about current exhibitions, Anne Goodyear will provide a tour of Jim Dine: Last Year’s Forgotten Harvest on April 2, and Jim Higginbotham will discuss Etruscan Gifts: Artifacts from Early Italy at Bowdoin on April 18. And, finally, to all poets and poetry enthusiasts, please join us on April 25 for a poetry party at the BCMA. As always, these programs are free and open to all.

We look forward to seeing you at the Museum!
