Student Nights featuring live music, student performances, art activities, scavenger hunts, food, and, of course, art! Some of these include the annual Jazz Night and Blues Night, as well as Poetry Slams, Cultural Nights, and our new stay-up late event, After Hours at the Johnson (open until 2 am!!). Our evening events create a social environment in which students can explore the Museum at their own leisure after hours. We're also open to giving student groups on campus a space and opportunity to perform for their fellow peers.
Concerts in conjunction with musical groups on campus, such as the Cornell Piano Society, the Klezmer Music Ensemble, and the Middle Eastern and Mediterranean Music Ensemble.
The annual Student Arts Showcase welcomes the many artistic talents of Cornell students—visual and performing. Gallery space is devoted to student art of any medium for one weekend in the spring, and an opening reception features student performers, as individuals and in groups, including singers, dancers, poets, comedians, and more.
Hidden Treasures Tours and Workshops are held once or twice a semester. At these behind-the-scenes tours, students explore art that is rarely on display. Then they get their hands dirty to create their own treasures! Some artworks explored in the past have been masks, pre-columbian vessels, and Javanese shadow puppets. |
