Join the Toaster for a Friday Field Trip!

Every other Friday the Toaster Team will be hitting the road to explore a variety of campus resources. Join us for some good old fashioned Friday fun!!

Meet at the Toaster front desk @ 2:30 p.m. We’ll guide the rest of the way.

This week we’re going to…The Weisman Art Museum!

Join the Toaster Team for a short walk to WAM, connect with fellow creatives, and get a guided tour of two exciting exhibits bound to provoke conversation, inspiration, and innovation…

• Why Look at Animals? Through a selection of varied images from the Weisman’s collection, Considine challenges the conventionally romanticized and infantilized perspective of animal life in order to reveal a millennia-old intimacy between “us” (humans) and “them” (animals).
• Urban Cadence tells teh multifaceted story of two urban environments – Lagos, Nigeria and Johannesburg, South Africa – experienced through the artistic expressions of photography and video.
