The Art Dept is honored to present Friedman Fête, a celebration of Alice T. Friedman's teaching and scholarship. Professor Friedman is retiring after 43 years with Wellesley College, and this two day event will offer an opportunity for former students, colleagues, friends, and members of the campus community to come together in celebration of her incredible work as a teacher, researcher, writer, and inspiration to generations of students studying architecture and art history.

A reception will be held in the Davis Plaza tent at 5:00 pm on Friday April 28.

A symposium in honor of Prof. Friedman will be held from 10:00 am to 5:00 pm on Saturday April 29 in Collins Cinema. The program for the symposium may be found here.

Both events are free to attend and open to the public.

Guest should park in the on-campus garage and walk to the Davis Plaza/Collins Cinema. A map of the route to walk may be found here. Enter campus via the Central St/Route 135 entrance and park in the garage to the right. Exit the garage and follow the dotted red line past the student center, past the physical plant (building with a 'smokestack'), then come up behind the Davis Museum. You can take the stairs up underneath the Davis (red), or come around it on either the left or right side (green lines). The Davis Plaza and Collins Cinema are between the Davis Museum and the Jewett Arts Center.

Contact Martha McNamara with any questions.
