May e-bulletin

With spring greetings to all, we offer special well wishes to the Class of 2024 who will soon be commencing on exciting new adventures that will take them beyond Bowdoin. We are grateful to the many outstanding members of the Class of 2024 who have been—and will always remain—members of the BCMA team, where they have served as Museum Curatorial Research Assistants, Education and Shop Assistants, Administrative Assistants, Campus Engagement Assistants, and Student Ambassadors. Two of the articles in this month’s E-Bulletin serve to illuminate some of the amazing work these students have done in the recent past! Also enjoy the opportunity to learn more about a fascinating work now traveling across Maine and soon to be on view at the Museum: Abigail DeVille’s Lunar Capsule (2023). As always, exciting programming awaits through concerts with George Lopez and a fascinating look at public art with Nicholas Baume, the Executive Director of New York City's Public Art Fund.

We look forward to seeing you at the Museum!

Co-Directors, Bowdoin College Museum of Art
