The Jordan Schnitzer Museum of Art is a great place to relax, escape from the chaos and noise of campus, and of course, surround yourself with art! Their calendar of events is an excellent thing to keep tabs on so you don’t miss out on the numerous opportunities they work so hard to put on for everyone – and if you are a current student, just fill out a card for free membership!

Tomorrow, Saturday October 1st, they will begin the year with two artist talks – San Francisco-based Gay Outlaw, whose exhibit Mutable Objects is currently being featured in the Harold and Arlene Schnitzer Gallery gallery will speak at 2pm.

And Berkeley native Mildred Howard, whose work is featured in the current exhibition Between the World and Me: Contemporary African American Artists Respond to Ta-Nehisi Coates, will speak at 2:30.

As an introduction, a free 45-minute tour will talk place at 1pm.

Even if you cannot make it to these events, be sure to take advantage of this excellent resource we are so lucky to have directly on our campus. Everyone who works their is very nice, happy to help, and always eager to talk about art and art-making!
