Event Calendar

Several small music installations throughout Jennings: a composer’s installation featuring former faculty Vivian Fine and alumnae composers Betsy Jolas ’46, Joan Tower ’61, and Elizabeth Swados ’73; an exhibition by faculty Nick Brooke on electronic music including alumni Pril Smiley ’65; and an installation on the Black Music program created by faculty member Karthik Pandian and students.

Drawn from the archives, this installation features black and white photographs from the 1930s of the Bennington Dance program.

An exhibition featuring the work of seven alumni artists who studied at Bennington from the 1940s up to VAPA’s opening in 1976. The show takes as its starting point the College’s longstanding attention to the language and possibilities of abstraction.

A group of Bennington students have designed a time capsule to represent the life of the college community in 2016, in documents and objects. The time capsule contents will be displayed and the capsule itself will be dedicated at this short ceremony, before being buried and designated to be opened in the year 2066. #VAPA40
