As we wind down to the end of the year, we wish to express our gratitude to each of you. The Museum of Art continues to flourish on account of the hard work of its staff, the engagement of the College’s faculty and students, and the generous support of our alumni and friends. We have missed being together in the galleries, though have enjoyed continuing to “see” you during our virtual class sessions and public programs. This month please join us on-line, as we conclude the semester with two final programs: on December 8, for a conversation with acclaimed artist Michael Rakowitz, whose work is featured in the current exhibition Assyria to America; and on December 12, for fun art-related activities during Family Saturday. We look forward to new exhibitions and programs in 2021. In the meantime, enjoy the holidays and stay well.
