The Shore Gallery is open to free of charge from 9 AM to 4 PM, Monday through Friday.
You may also notice some additional sculptures in our A+D courtyard. These were created by fine art majors over the weekend during a workshop with Bonny, where she shared her techniques and guided students in creating sculptures inspired by Into the Woods.

Freshmen, Transfers & new A+D majors

I have assigned lockers to our incoming students and you will be getting an email from me with those assignments this week. You will be responsible for getting your own lock. This locker is yours for the next 4 years. All in-process projects need to be stored in your locker unless there is a space in your classroom that your professor has set aside for student work. If you end up needing additional storage, you can come see me to get a second locker.
I will be taking a polaroid of you for our majors wall when I return. I look forward to seeing many of you again and meeting a few of you for the first time!
