Our spring salon IT'S A HAPPENING reflects a community of artists and writers as varied and complex as both the college and city in which we make our home. The show, which includes collage, readings, dance, illustration, video, and the music of no fewer than 85 metronomes, highlights a coming together of many forms, inviting the audience into an interactive celebration of all the ways art and literature move, shake, and shape us.
