A themed series of free events grounded in art, making and conversation
CUAG is thrilled to announce Stonecroft Semester: The Art of Transmission, a themed series of free public events that takes place over the fall 2025 semester.
The semester is generously supported by the Stonecroft Foundation for the Arts, which promotes education in the visual arts and fosters the public’s appreciation of the visual arts.
Stonecroft Semester takes the form of a multi-vocal, multi-site series of events organized to accompany two concurrent CUAG exhibitions: Runs in the Family and Andy Slater and Emily Cook: Unknown Area.
These events explore how knowledge and memory are shared, inherited and carried forward. Through artist-led conversations and workshops, participants will engage with practices of transmission—across generations, senses and experiences—connecting with the themes of the exhibitions.
