Join us for our Art Tank and help decide which artwork will become part of Picker Art Gallery's permanent collection!

Students in ARTH/MUSE 254 “How to Buy a Work of Art” have examined hundreds of artworks for sale in New York City and narrowed their selection down to a final four. Now it is your turn to be part of the process! Come hear their pitches, engage with the works, and vote for your favorite piece. The winning artwork will be purchased and added to the Picker’s collection.

This event will take place on April 30th from 5:00 to 6:30 PM in Bernstein Hall. Student presentations on the four final artworks begin at 5:00 PM, voting opens at 5:45 PM, voting closes at 6:15 PM, and the winning artwork will be announced at 6:30 PM.

We hope to see you there!

Art purchase is supported by the Hilda and Oscar Lasdon Art Acquisition Endowment, established by Elizabeth S. Lasdon ’76.
