“Object Lessons in American Art: Selections from the Princeton University Art Museum” pairs works together in fresh ways that start new conversations about American history and culture. Explore the exhibition, play Art Cart games in the galleries and create a work of art to take home in the Michael and Mary Erlanger Studio Classroom. Staff from UGA’s Hargrett Rare Book and Manuscript Library will also share objects from their collection that tell stories about Athens.

Stillpoint Literary Magazine will host an outdoor reading on Thursday, April 20th at 2 p.m. in front of the Main Library. This reading will celebrate National Poetry Month.  Anyone featured in recent issues of Stillpoint will be invited to read.
