Upcoming Events

 

Jennifer Baum’s new memoir Just City: Living in the Upper West Side When Housing Was a Human Right, takes place in a version of New York City with communities supported by affordable housing. She goes beyond just the physical necessity of housing to describe relationships, art, and art practices that are forged in a space that is almost impossible to find in modern times. Join Baum and Curb Center Director and Professor of Theatre Leah Lowe for a conversation about art, community, and policies that build both. Refreshments provided. 4:30-6:00 pm, Thursday February 20th at the Vanderbilt Library Author’s Room.

 

Robert Shetterly, the artist behind the portrait series Americans Who Tell the Truth, will be visiting campus as part of The Curb Center’s “Art and Democracy” semester theme. A portion of his series has been curated by Vanderbilt students and will be shown at The Curb Center from January 23rd to April 17th in an exhibition titled Changemakers of the 21st Century. Join Shetterly and Senior Lecturer in History of Art & Architecture Jack Crawford in a conversation about the process of curation, portraiture, and art’s role in democracy. This event will take place at The Curb Center from 4:30-6:00 pm with a reception at 5:30 pm following the discussion.
