Congrats to our BAM grads! 🎉🎓

Rylee joined the Barry as a gallery host in 2023 and has been our curatorial assistant since spring of 2025. She graduates this weekend and will be headed off to law school this summer!

Bryce has been a gallery host with the Museum since 2024. He's been an asset to our operations since we've been closed for construction, and his enthusiasm will be missed.

Congrats, Rylee and Bryce! 🎓🎓
