Art After Hours: First Tuesdays

September 4 / 5-9pm

“What’s new?” is a question one hears a lot this time of year, as people catch up with each other after summer break. There’s lots new here at the Zimmerli as well, as we kick off the fall season and semester with new exhibitions and collection rotations. Stop by September’s Art After Hours for great music, refreshments, and to see what’s new in the galleries—including a first look at our special exhibition Self-Confessed! The Inappropriately Intimate Comics of Alison Bechdel.
