By showing people how to look closely at painting, sculpture, and photography, she helps them hone their visual intelligence to recognize the most pertinent and useful information as well as recognize biases that impede decision making.

Friends of the Art Museum Annual Dinner and Special Lecture
Kirk Alumni Center

Join the Friends of the Art Museum for our Annual Dinner where we drink, dine, mingle, vote on yearly member business, and enjoy a special presentation. This year, Associate Professor of History of Art and Architecture Katy Smith Abbott and three of her students — Maddie Shean ’24, Maddy Russell ’26, and Cal Chang ’27 — will take us on a visual journey through the curatorial process and highlight a number of the works of art that will be featured in the museum’s upcoming fall exhibit An Invitation to Awe. The evening will also feature a buffet dinner, dessert, and cash bar (each event ticket will include one free drink).

If you’re not currently a member of the Friends, be sure to activate or renew your membership to guarantee you’ll be able to attend.
