Events
A themed series of free events grounded in art, making and conversation
CUAG is thrilled to announce Stonecroft Semester: The Art of Connection, a themed series of free public events that takes place over the fall 2024 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.
The inaugural Stonecroft Semester takes the form of a multi-vocal, multi-site series of events organized to accompany two concurrent CUAG exhibitions. A Dream of Return and Practice as Ritual / Ritual as Practice.
The events explore the connections we share and create with each other, the land and our collective histories. These ties resonate across time and generations. Join artists who will lead conversations and workshop to bring these connections into practice.
