ART& – An Experiment in Art & Community
August 19, 2016 - January 8, 2017
Free and Open for Possibilities
ART& is an innovative project centered on art and community. The flexible ART& space is available for visitors make the museum their own—whether they want a date spot, a place to gather and converse with friends and classmates, or a quiet spot for a cup of coffee. (Yes, that does say “coffee.” Read on!)
Programs in ART&
A dedicated section of the Ackland Art Museum, ART& enables a wide range of art-centered programs, from film screenings and performances to talks and hands-on art making. See the full list of programs.
