Artists have always been inspired by other artists, and it’s striking to see two people speak to one another across time and place to say: here’s what I saw in your work, here’s a new way of looking at it. Visit the Fleming Learning Studio to see pairs of artworks from the collection that are in conversation.

Every year, the Music Program’s talented faculty come together for a fun afternoon of jazz and classical music in support of scholarships. Admission is by donation ($5 suggested minimum, cash or check only). All proceeds benefit student scholarships. Check out this great lineup, which shows the range of talent of our faculty, and please join us for a lovely winter afternoon concert.
