In conjunction with this series, students will visit artists in their studios, and an exhibition of work by Fine Arts majors and texts by Art History and Museum Professions majors will be presented in the FIT Library. This event has been made possible in part through funding by the FIT Student-Faculty Corporation, the School of Art and Design, and the School of Liberal Arts.Introduction by Mari Dumett
