On December 16, starting at 6:00, the Building on Dana project (VPS 343 3D Thinking and VPS 395 Topics in Visual Practices) will host an open house in the Dalton Gallery to share the work we have done for the Building on Dana I Patterns in Space. The exhibition (opening Feb. 7, 2025) explores the building’s past, present, and future through the voices of artists, activists, students, and scholars examining its built environment. It establishes the significance of the Dana Fine Arts Building in John Portman’s early career and in shifts in the college’s curriculum in the 1960s; it highlights the challenge of access and inclusion in historical design and an evolving cultural context.

The campus community is invited to get a preview of the show and give us feedback! And enjoy sips and bites.
