Art Education Department's Class of 2026 invites you to their culminating exhibition, "Looking Forward to the Past." There are countless ways of teaching and learning about the continuous thread that binds the past, present, and future from many cultures around the world. The MAT Class of 2026 uses the tarot card as their collaborative representation of divination to reflect on and learn from the past to discover who they are now as artist-teachers embarking on their new careers as art teachers and mentors to children.
🔮🌌⏳️
The exhibition opens on June 12th at the Flatiron Gallery with a closing reception on July 1st from 5:00-7:00 pm.
