Weekly Calendar
Colloquia
The Mattin Center throws itself a
pARTy this week to celebrate students' creative endeavors.
The event — hosted by Homewood Arts Programs, the
Digital Media Center and Homewood Art Workshops —
will include musical and theatrical performances and
exhibits of visual and digital arts, which will be
presented throughout the center. Between 4 and 5:30 p.m.,
students in the Program in Museums and Society will have a
drop-in poster presentation addressing the topic 'Who Owns
Culture?' Above, Tom Chalkley draws caricatures at a
previous pARTy. See Special
Events.
