On Wednesday, August 12 at 11:30 a.m., bring your own lunch and share your thoughts on what the Luther Seminary Art Collection should look like in our new space. The Art Working Group will provide information on the current state of the collection, then we’ll hear your ideas for how we might intentionally integrate art into our communal life in the coming years. We gather in OCC 10 or on Zoom (link in email). Reach out to Caleb with any questions at crollins002@luthersem.edu.
